It was running a bit, however could not really escape. I took it home and mother fed it. So it was living under the turned down fruits box for some time. The breath of the crow was quite hard. We decided it was sick for some reason. Googling gave us only idea we must take it to the wet in case we want  it alive. Time passed and breathing became normal.

But it wasn't going to. After bringing it back home it started to bleed. Basically so much I thought it will not survive. Appeared out it was shot before. Seems like the bullet came through.

Found this one on a lake. It was angry about me getting close. Those lake gulls are typically not aware of many people passing by because lake it was captured is wild forest lake.

Breeding takes place generally north of 50° northern latitude in northern Europe and Asia (where it is known as the great grey shrike), and in North America (where it is known as the northern shrike) north of 55° northern latitude in Canada and Alaska. Most populations migrate south in winter to temperate regions. The great grey shrike is carnivorous, with rodents making up over half its diet.  ( Wikipedia ) In the "Red Book" of Ukraine.

The  spotted flycatcher  ( Muscicapa striata ) is a small  passerine  bird in the  Old World flycatcher  family. This is an undistinguished looking bird with long wings and tail. The adults have grey-brown upperparts and whitish underparts, with some streaking on the breast. The legs are short and black, and the bill is black and has the broad but pointed shape typical of aerial insectivores. Juveniles are browner than adults and show the spots on the upperparts which give this species its name.
