Male red backed shrike sitting on a branch looking directly into the camera and looking quite annoyed.

A red-backed shrike perched in the treetops stretches slightly to get a good view. It is summer and the sky is bright blue. The branch on which the bird is sitting is bare, but around it there is some green foliage on neighbouring branches.
The nuthatch clings artistically to a vertical hazelnut branch in late autumn and looks over its right shoulder with interest. Like the red-backed shrike in the other photo, it has a dark eye stripe. Both birds thus wear a mask, somewhat reminiscent of the cliché of a classic film gangster.
Local patch gangsters:
As a savvy member of the Beagle Boys' team, you have to wear a mask.

Gestern bin ich einer #Neuntöter Familie begegnet, zumindest glaube ich, dass es Jungvögel waren, zum Teil waren sie fast ohne Scheu.
Yesterday I encountered a #redbackedshrike family, at least I think it were young birds, partially without timidity.
