Lanius phoenicuroides

Least Concern

The Red-tailed Shrike is a shrike of Europe, temperate Asia, and their seasonal wintering grounds. 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.
