Shrike bee killer
Greetings to friends! I really like to shoot birds on the camera. It's not very simple, especially when the bird is far away. You have to spend time stabilizing the camera. Before this bird was a distance of about 50 meters. I rarely met these birds in Moldova. Than this bird is interesting. She, one of a small number of birds, eats bees. It does great harm to the apiary. If the shrike has settled near the hives, immediately it is necessary to reduce the expected profit. Shrike destroys bees that carry nectar and pollen in the hive. The worst thing they do is that they destroy young, unfertilized queen bees that fly out of the hive in the spring for a flight, for a wedding)) They often do not come back, they become food for a reactive shrike. Beautiful, but dangerous in its way a bird. It looks like a big sparrow, but it does harm like a pack of rooks on a newly sown field.
