Tag: Brown Shrike

I’ll have to try again next year for better photos of this species…

All photos are of the male.

My target bird for the trip was Brown Shrike. I have seen this species in Japan a couple of times before but didn’t have any photos. It is now very scarce in Hokkaido but there is a well-known spot near Sapporo where a few pairs breed.

Not great photos as they were heavily backlit.
