Meet the loggerhead shrike. A robin-sized songbird without a raptor’s talons, so it hunts with a hooked beak and impales its kills on thorns. Folks called it the “butcher bird.” We've been thinking about it a lot lately.

おはようございます。🪶
昨日の夕方、バルコニーから百舌鳥の高鳴きが近隣川方面から聞こえたので、機動力の良い、相方さんのP950を持って川に行ったところ、
周囲をうろついていたモズが高鳴きしはじめました。
が、逆に緑地に先に降りていたモズは居なくなっております。🤔
草刈りはじめたからかな？
ともあれ、一羽は近隣川に戻った様子でした。
更に、沢山のコムクドリが上空を飛んでおりました。🫶🏻
夕暮れ時、P950使うとオレンジ色に染まるのね。
（天気よければだけど。）
それでは💞

THE DARK SNOW WHITE — RENFRI VELLGA
A princess without a throne. Cursed by Black Sun. Exiled by Creyden. Sent to die at 7. She survived by becoming Shrike.
#RenfriVellga #Shrike #DarkSnowWhite #TheWitcherUniverse

RENFRI — The Shrike's Quiet Hour
The Shrike finally rests. No swords drawn, no curses chased. Just a warm cup, soft pillows, and a corner that is finally safe. Candle-lit, confident, and cozy. The Dark Snow White, peaceful at last.
#RenfriVellga #Shrike #Pillows #TheWitcherUniverse

THE DARK SNOW WHITE — RENFRI VELLGA
Not a mutant. No magic. Just ruthless.
Monster by decree. Shrike by choice.

RENFRI VELLGA — The Girl They Tried To Erase
Creyden cast her out at 7 as a cursed child of the Black Sun. No palace to shelter her. No knight to save her.
The men sent to kill her in the woods became the first men she killed. She took their blade and learned.
#RenfriVellga #Shrike #TheWitcher

RENFRI VELLGA — The Princess Who Survived Herself
They sent her into the woods at 7 to die. No food. No blade. No hope. She didn't just survive the woods — she survived the story they wrote for her. No kingdom. No crown. Just unbroken.
#RenfriVellga #Shrike #DarkSnowWhite #TheWitcherUniverse

RENFRI VELLGA — No Kingdom, Exiled
Creyden cast her out. No palace to shelter her. A princess without a throne, wandering, independent — still unbroken, still surviving.

RENFRI VELLGA — The Dark Snow White of The Witcher
Not a mutant. No magic. No mutation. Just a human woman made ruthless by the world that tried to break her.
