ISABELLINE SHRIKE (LANIUS ISABELLINUS)

Name: Isabelline Shrike (Lanius isabellinus)
Place:  Al Mamzar Park, DUBAI
Taken: December 2013

First I thought it is a sparrow. After a closer look, i realise that It was much bigger than house sparrow and the bill was hooked.  Isabelline Shrike eats insect, small bird and lizard. It has habit of impaling the corpse on barbed wire or thrones.
