Long-tailed Shrike, by Masudur Rahman

This photograph of Long-tailed Shrike was taken at Muhuri Dam area, Chittagong. I had seen many photographs of this bird, but didn’t find any occasion to photograph it earlier. In one morning, while walking at Muhuri Dam, I was looking for birds to shot, and spotted this beautiful bird. It was sitting on a tree, and enjoying the sunshine. I was so excited seeing this bird, and took few of its shots.
