Brown-backed Shrike, Marina Bay East, Singapore (Braunwürger | Pie-grièche brune)

            Closely related to the red-backed shrikes we have in Europe, it shares the black „Zorro“ mask and the visibly downward-bent upper beak. It is a migrant visitor in Singapore, that spends the fall and winter months in the region and leaves in April for its nesting grounds further north, potentially all the way to Siberia.  Several other species of Shrikes can be found in Singapore, but this is the only one with the remarkable white eyebrow visible also in this picture.
