WHITE CROWNED SHRIKE Eurocephalus anguitimens

They were originally called Smith's Wood shrike. They are thought to be close relatives of the helmet shrikes and are thought to be the most primitive of all the African true shrikes. They are found in groups of between 2-8 individuals. They have a home range of around 200 hectares and seem to have a dominant pair.

The breeding pair build the nest in a tree and the female will incubate the eggs from around 20 days.
