"Hello, mister red-backed shrike, it is surprising to see you."

Lately I have spent a few evenings looking for scarlet rosefinches, but they – as me and my friend jokingly say – just laugh at my face. That is to say, they don't want to be photographed. I can hear them singing but it's difficult to spot them. Yesterday evening was no different, but suddenly this male red-backed shrike shows up and poses for me. A welcome surprise.

🐦 Red-backed shrike at sunset 🇩🇪
📖 I was a bit 'too well' camouflaged. I wanted to take off my camouflage when the Red-backed Shrike flew away. But the red-backed shrike stayed the whole time. Eventually my arm became too sore from holding the telephoto zoom and I had to undress.
ℹ️ The Red-backed Shrike (Lanius collurio) grows up to 17 cm long and has a wingspan of up to 27 cm. Its diet includes caterpillars, lizards and insects. It also sometimes impales its food on the thorns of bushes to build up a stockpile. Red-backed shrikes are long-distance migrants.

🐦 Neuntöter im Sonnenuntergang 🇩🇪
📖 Ich war etwas „zu gut“ getarnt. Ich wollte meine Tarnung wenn der Neuntöter wegfliegt verlassen, aber der Neuntöter ist die ganze geblieben. Mein Arm tat dann aber irgendwann vom halten des Telezoom zu doll weh und ich musste mich so enttarnen.

Çok iyi olmasalar da bu fotoğraflarda bir kızıl sırtlı örümcek kuşu var, yani sanırım. İkinci fotoğrafta kızıl sırtı görülüyor. Bilimsel adı Lanius collurio.
