Here’s one “birb” you don’t want to mess with: the Great Grey Shrike (Lanius excubitor)! When on the hunt, this carnivorous bird scans the area from its perch seeking out anything from a small mammal to a bird. After locking in on a target, which can be nearly as large as the bird itself, it swoops down and hits its meal with its hooked bill. This species has even been observed impaling prey on sharp objects—thorns or barbed wire—and sometimes “storing” it there for later consumption. It has a wide range which spans parts of Europe, Asia, and northern Africa.

today's bird is the ruddy duck!
another top favorite of mine :0)
- the ruddy duck has the largest eggs of any duck relative to body size
- ruddy ducks are aggressive towards other species but are still relentlessly bullied by grebes
- ruddy ducks are very cute :0D
