Beautifully presented capture of this female yellowhammer.
Congrats to your shrike pair sighting. I visited my parents and not far from the village is a horse farm. Some of the paddocks there offer outstanding breeding opportunities for shrikes. This juvenile has two siblings. Indeed a happy bird family.

Great pose, perch, lighting, background, eye contact, focus, feather detail, and composition. Top-notch JJ!
