This cool little bird is brutal.
Taken with Olympus M1ll and a canon 100-400mm lens.

They call them butcher birds where I come from.

Very nice. I rarely see a shrike, never see a skink.

I have only seen them in photos. My brother remembers seeing some lizards impaled on a barbed wire fence back when he was a kid.
You did this one justice. Excellent shot!

Very nice photo. It's hard not to apply human sensibilities to non-human behavior.

I’d read the shrike impales it’s prey often on barbed wire! They do have a predatory beak! Nice capture!
