Red-tailed Shrike

In the past few days, a shrike named 'Red-tailed Shrike' that has not been found in Korea

has appeared in the Gimpo field, attracting a lot of attention from bird watchers.

 

The red-tailed shrike or Turkestan shrike was formerly considered conspecific with the isabelline shrike and the red-backed shrike.

The red-tailed shrike breeds in south Siberia and Central Asia.

 

It breeds in open cultivated country, preferably with thorn bushes.
