A small yet fearsome bird was caught on camera hunting and killing a giant rodent on a Scottish golf course – despite being 6000km from home. Mark Begg captured a rare sighting of the Steppe Grey Shrike, or "world's smallest bird of prey". It is believed to have been blown off course from its usual hunting grounds in Asia, on Winterfield Golf Course in Dunbar, East Lothian, on September 18. Fascinating shots show the predatory songbird, known as a "butcher bird", issuing a "death bite" to kill the much larger vole before struggling to carry its mammoth meal to a nearby thicket. The 60-year-old great grandad-of-one then snapped the pint-sized predator impaling its furry victim on twigs before ripping it apart.
