A busy (single?) father: Bull-headed Shrike, モズ

Around a small farmers' community: 3 Hungry little chicks and one busy parent, the father. The latter kept up a steady supply of worms, caterpillars and butterflies for his family, who were following him everywhere and didn't allow him any rest. We watched them for the best part of the morning but didn't see the mother. Where was she?







Sometimes the babies managed to find some edibles on their own.



But never enough



Got to learn how to properly use these wings.

  




The smallest of the 3. Trying hard, pulling out a bit of dried grass on the left. Proudly holding a tiny beetle on the right.







All 4 birds together at what seemed to be their favorite hang out.
  

Trying the roof of a farm house. Might find some spiders...
