Fiscal shrike        Images © Mark A. Chappell

One of many species of shrikes in east Africa, the fiscal (named for an old-world judge because its sober black and white plumage resembles -- vaguely in my opinion -- judicial attire) is a very common sight on posts and fences.   This one was near the Aberdare Mountains in central Keyna.
