Thrush-sized bird; pale gray overall with black mask. In flight, watch for white patches in the wings. In areas of overlap, compare with other gray shrikes. Inhabits open habitats with scattered vegetation, from open forests to bogs and brushy meadows. Often seen on prominent perches, including power lines and short treetops, that offer perfect vantages for from which to spot prey. Carnivorous habits make shrikes unique among passerines, feeding on rodents and small birds.

For most of my professional life, I have worked in the world of technology, helping shape digital platforms and transformation journeys. Photography offers a different perspective—one measured not in deadlines and data, but in patience, light, and observation. Drawn particularly to birds and wild landscapes, I spend time exploring diverse habitats across India and beyond. This collection is a reflection of those journey and the remarkable moments nature reveals to those willing to wait.
