Portrait of a Black-faced Cuckooshrike

Black-faced Cuckooshrike

On 21 February 2025, I encountered 3 Black-faced Cuckooshrikes at the Western Remnant. I managed to take a photograph of what looked like a juvenile bird as it has downy looking feathers.

These birds usually perch in tall trees and are quite difficult to photograph at eye-level. As the path of the Western Remnant is elevated, I managed to photograph this particular bird at close to eye-level. The only issue is the featureless blue sky. I guess you can’t have everything.
