J Darcy 5,871 Posted May 17, 2011 Report Share Posted May 17, 2011 Often called the butcher bird, they are a rare occurance in the UK, but several arrive here each winter. There are several sub-species of grey shrike, so i may well be incorrect saying its a great grey...but just took a wild guess... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
