Media notes
with a legless lizzard as prey. when I saw the bird close to the road, I thougth a roadkill. Having a closer look I saw the situation the birds was caugth in. The Butcherbird caugth a legless lizzard and grapped it by the head. The reptile straneld the bird around his neck. When I approached the bird he let the head from the lizzard free. After a while the two let go each other and the bird flew away and the reptile went back in the shrub. A Crow came close to look and kept a distance to me. I should have waited but the for shure the crow would have taken bouth for lunch. Elevation: 122 m. Date added to IBC: February 6, 2019.
