Sure it is your shrike and it is a male. Hopefully there is also a female so you can get red-backed shrike chicks in a short while. That would be nice $O\/$ $O\/$

Thanks, nan! Now it doesn't surprise me at all anymore that you were knackered after your last outing!

Catching up! Brilliant pics, nana, seems Spring is in the air!

I think it is very restful there, and you get nice exercise too!

Aren't some of our cuckoos also there?

yes there is the same "Common (European) Cuckoo" (migrant), but you have them only in the North East of South Africa and further North
arrived 3 weeks ago at my little pond...
today only heard, I think 2 of them... well hidden $0*\$

and very similar to the African Cuckoo (but no-migrant

as per the Sasol)

How do our shrikes get there...they don't migrate?
