The upper body is purple-brown, the thorax is gray, the abdomen is brownish-yellow, and there are more than ten black and maroon horizontal spots on each flank.

The picture is backlit, and the distance is far away, so it is not clear to see. It's a good thing that the birds are flying, and if you want to take pictures next time, sprinkle some grains on the windowsill to attract the birds to eat, and when the birds are not paying attention, slowly approach and take a quick photo, and you can take a more satisfactory picture.
Not to mention superstition, if there are birds coming every day, it means that the environment is good, or there is food to attract it. It can only be explained like this!
Keep it
I envy you so much, I put N nests on the terrace of my house and don't pay attention to the birds. >>>More
Hehe, put a bird trap there, I didn't tell you to catch it and kill it, you just need to catch a few of them, and then lock them up, take them to another place to put them, and after a few days, the other birds will not dare to come when they see this, and then they won't bother you. That's what we did, otherwise our clothes would be full of sparrow poop.
The shrike has a strong sense of territory, and it is recommended that the screens on the balcony will be closed in the future, and if you still want to raise birds, the best screen window material is also a little better. I have a starling who I don't know if he was eaten by a shrike or an eagle or falcon or something, and the screens were all scratched and ran away.
