Meadow is one of the most interesting places for birdwatching, especially in spring and summer. Yesterday during a bike trip there was a fantastic meeting with a family of Great Gray Shrike (Lanius excubitor). First, a parent pair of  Great Gray Shrike showed up, watching over two young Great Gray Shrike  hidden in a young pine. The young birds, surprisingly to me, were sitting motionless hidden among the young shoots of the pine tree, which was the perfect opportunity to make a video. As you know, their behavior is related to maintaining their own safety. It was an extremely emotional observation. The Great Gray Shrike is a birds of predators present in Roztocze throughout the year. It hunts large prey such as mice and small birds. It has a habit of hoarding food, which it impales on the thorns of thorny bushes.
