The Grey-backed shrike is a resident and winter visitor to North and North Eastern parts of India. It is common to see them perched on tall grass and bushes, constantly looking out for moving prey - primarily insects, lizards etc. Because of this behavior of theirs, they are categorized as sit-and-wait predators.
