It's not difficult to track this Brown Shrike's stay in the taman, simply because it has claimed a certain part of the taman as its territory since its arrival. And this spot has always been a shrike's season after season.
It didn't even need much effort to spot it whenever one ventured there as the bird would flee at any approach, so revealing its presence. For better or for worse, this one remained skittish throughout its stay here
This was shortly after it arrived to spend its winter away here.
The brown shrike has always been one of the earlier arrivals and one of the last to leave for home.
Three months after its arrival, its appearance remained almost the same.
Another two months later, which translated into six months now, it finally displayed some transformation.
It looked like this one took comparatively longer to moult into adult plumage, and one could safely conclude that it came as a first winter bird.
Looking ruffled on another day.
