Is the Lanius excubitor a bird of prey?
Hi there everybody.
This is my first thread, and I start with a question. I am used to think that birds of prey are the eagles, hawks, kestrels...but is the Lanius excubitor also a bird of prey.
I saw one of them a couple of days ago, I had never taken the time of watching them, I guess they were just another bird for me (I am new in this)
it doesn´t look like one to me, but as I have heard that they hunt mice and other birds....can it be considered as one?
We call it Alcaudón real, I think the english speaking call it Northern Shrike.
Well... thanks for the help!
