Brown Shrike -spring- (Tianjin, China)
While shopping (and not birding) in downtown a man had just caught this Brown Shrike by hand as it was pestering his dog.
We just happened upon him as this occurred and he handed it to me so snapped this shot of me holding it.
Never thought I'd hold a Brown Shrike in my hands and it didn't try biting or anything.
Nor did I expect to see it in a totally 'concrete jungle' area with no surrounding parks/woodland, trees, anything of typical habitat
