      1. Never seen one of those. Guess it is bigger than it looks in the photo. You are going to have to name your bird photos you know or I will keep on bugging you!

         1. Thought I had, was only when you asked I realised I’d failed again! And no he’s not that big, about the size of a thrush. Maybe a tiny bit bigger but not much!

11. Over here in Australia they are called Butcher Birds. Don’t want to see a hanging either

    1. I am guessing those lethal spikes I shared a few days ago make perfect larders!

       1. Butcher Birds tend to find a fork in a tree and hang their victim as well as spike. Do not search “butcher bird hanging prey” images 😛
