I have seen the southern grey shrike many times. Unfortunately, it is a very skittish bird and shrikes had flown away before I managed to prepare or focus. Its shyness is a bit strange as it is a predator after all. Maybe because there on the island kestrels are quite common. Once I managed to capture the southern grey shrike in the beautiful scenery. It was sitting among low vegetation looking for its victims. Then, fortunately, it decided to move on to another observation point and luckily flew towards me. This allowed me to enrich my gallery.

In Argentina, they are quite common and there are no problems with shooting them. Southern lapwings were so assimilated there in the area of Iguazu, that foraging in a helicopter landing place during takeoffs and landings they did not run away, but positioned towards the blast of air as to be not overturned by  the wind. Interesting was the way the lapwings preyed. They froze motionless standing on one leg, while stamping in the grass with the second.
