Magpie Shrike

Urolestes melanoleucus

Least Concern

The Magpie Shrike is a shrike of sub-Saharan African savanna, thorn scrub, and open woodland. It hunts from exposed perches, dropping on insects, small vertebrates, and other prey, and its strongly hooked bill helps it handle food in open woodland, scrub, grassland, or farmland.
