Distress calls of Long-tailed Shrike and Shikra call in the background
Observation details
I was watching a Long-tailed Shrike which was calmly perched on an exposed Bamboo. 10 to 15 metre away a raptor call was heard, there was no way the Shrike could see the raptor because the Shrike was perched at a very low level and the raptor call was far away and hedge was blocking the view for me and the Shrike. But even with the calls the raptor made the Shrike go berserk. It started calling out in distress and moved its body backward and forward (what looked like bowing rapidly) and also moving its tail up and down . typical shrike in distress behavior. Later I left the Shrike and went to pursue the raptor which was calling.
