Birding Kabul

• Sunday, May 25, 2008 - Caught up with the Shrike

This morning turned out very well, The Golden Oriole was calling and whilst trying to find it, I located the Shrike out on the end of a limb. From the distant photos I managed to get, I am sure that is a Lond-tailed Shrike Larius schach erythronotus.  Hopefully it will behalf and I will get better shots another day. There were two Magpies in the garden area too.
I am sure now that all the sparrows that I am seeing are montanus, I will keep searching for any variations.
I checked on Doris today, the resident nesting Palm Dove, and her two chicks seem to be doing well, although it would seem that they will soon outgrow the nest.
