It's a small songbird, but it's carnivorous. It's known as the "Butcher Bird" because it catches its prey, normally small mammals like mice or large insects like grasshoppers or beetles, and skewers them on thorn bushes or barbed wire fences to hang there until it's time to eat them.
I thought this prey was probably a mouse because that's what they normally eat, but no. It's a warbler.
It's eating a warbler!
Count remaining. 221.
