Abrupt landing on thorny acacia shrub

Gray-backed Fiscal (Lanius excubitoroides) lands abruptly on thorny acacia branch and attempts to maintain its balance by flashing its wings as if trying to provide reverse thrust and using its leg as a landing gear. Captured in Central Serengeti National Park, Tanzania.
