まだいたセアカモズ さえずり練習中

Brown Shrike
Brown Shrike

It was mimicking the calls of small birds quite frequently. (Added 20 February: it wasn't mimicking other birds — it was the Brown Shrike's own song!! It sounds just like the song posted on xeno-canto. It seems it was practising its song as it is becoming a mature male.)

Looking forward to seeing it develop into a fully summer-plumaged male!!
