I discovered…ok! I didn’t “discover” this bird so much as notice it.
I noticed this bird last year near the place where I live. Now, I love nature and when I see a new bird I can’t get it off my head until I have take a good picture of it and have identified it. After the first sighting I didn’t see it for a very very long time which made me wonder whether I would ever see it again.

Thankfully I did see it again…and again…and again and I never get tired of this bird. It looks so elegant and poised. It is beautiful 🙂

Here is another picture of a brown shrike in some bushes.

Sadly, the bushes were cut down an burnt a few days after this picture was taken and now no birds visit this place because they have no resting place and have lost their home :'( Apparently the owner of that plot of land plans on selling it so he got it cleared.

I seem to be the only one who is saddened by this loss of greenery. Are people blind to such beautiful creatures and nature in general? Why doesn’t anyone care?
