The last few days have been relatively quiet birdwise with just the regular species. Breeding is still going on full swing with Mynas, Doves and Sparrows still nesting.  I did see the Shrike this morning on his favourite tree, I quickly grabbed my camera and he gave me 15 seconds on a nearby branch as he moved around the tree firstly flushing a sparrow and then a Myna, it is obviousy very protective of this ideal view point.  I have attached a photo but it is by no means ideal.  I will as usual endeavour to get a better image.
I saw a new butterfly yesterday, another white but very similar to the british Marbled  White, anyone out there who knows their Afghanistan butterfllies, any advice or help is much appreciated.
