	Isabelline type Shrike – Mid may 2006
		Isabelline Shrikes are rare in Israel and are normally autumn migrants.
		With the relatively recent changes and splits in the "Isabelline" Shrike complex, it is interesting to try and identify every individual, in order to understand the migration patterns of the different species, especially in spring.
		Even though Chinese Shrike is a short range migrant and is the least likely to make it to our neck of the woods, stranger things have happened.

	Bird Sightings: Isabelline Shrike
		The adult Isabelline Shrike is sandy-greyish brown on the upper parts, and buff-white on the underparts, with a distinctive long, rusty-red coloured tail.
		An Isabelline Shrike usually wears a fl eye-mask, rather like the wheatear, the wheatear however does not have a distinctively reddish-brown tail.
		In Europe Isabelline Shrike are mostly seen in the Autumn, and they are usually immature, as is the one which arrived in Brue.This was the first Isabelline Shrike ever recorded in the Western Isles.

	Isabelline Shrike
		The Isabelline Shrike Lanius isabellinus is a member of the shrike family Laniidae.

	Distribution & Systematics of the Brown Shrike
		The taxonomy and systematics of the Brown Shrike and its relatives are rather complex.
		In contrast, the ranges of Isabelline and Red-backed Shrikes almost do not overlap at all, yet there are a large number of recorded hybrids from the small areas of overlap of their range.
		Note that, in general the subspecies of Red-backed Shrike winter in southern and eastern Africa; the subspecies of Isabelline Shrike winter in eastern Africa, Arabia and India & Pakistan; while the subspecies of Brown Shrike winter from eastern India across south-east Asia through Malaysia and Indonesia.

	Field characters of Isabelline and Brown Shrikes (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
		Immature Red-backed Shrikes not infrequently display a significant rufous component to both tail and lower rump; since juveniles Isabellines may have visibly barred mantles, the overlap of characters between July and early September may be considerable.
		Subsidiary characters of the Isabelline Shrike include the lack of discrete white margins to the tail and, especially in immatures and L.
		Compared with the Isabelline shrike, birds of the nominate form display rather russet upperparts and basically concolorous mantle and rump, while the tail is russet-brown or ochraceous rather than rufous.

	Rare Birds in Lincolnshire - Isabelline Shrike
		Isabellinus (formerly speculigerus) with a DB suggested English name of Daurian Shrike, is now considered to be of more regular and likely occurrence than the more south-western race phoenicuroides (Turkestan Shrike) to which most of the British records have usually been attributed.
		The latter first-winter was attributed by the BBRC to phoenicuroides.
		Obviously any future Isabelline Shrike will be given a real grilling in the light of the most recent identification information but for now it seems that two races/taxa of Isabelline Shrike may well have been recorded in Lincolnshire.

	Isabelline Shrike - Cyberbirding
		This first winter Isabelline Shrike of the subspecies phoenicuroides ("Turkestan Shrike") was found in a garden at Herdlevær in Hordaland county, western Norway on 15 November 2003.
		It was hunting for prey on the ground, and managed to catch a Winter Wren Troglodytes troglodytes just before dark.
		This bird is actually the latest ever to be found in Norway, and only the second in its first calendar year.

	True Shrikes
		The true Shrikes are a widespread group of medium-sized predatory songbirds with hooked bills recalling raptors.
		A set of five shrikes from the African grasslands are called fiscals "from their rapacity, which no revenue-officer could exceed" (Fry and Keith 2000).
		All of the batises, wattle-eyes, helmet shrikes, and such things as flycatcher-shrikes, wood-shrikes, and philentomas, are thrown into the latter family.

	Red-tailed Shrike, Lanius isabellinus
		Like the Red-backed it hunts from a low, exposed perch from which it either glides and hovers to take its prey or drops directly onto it when the prey is below the perch.
		As with other shrikes it stores food on spikes (twigs, barbed wire, thorns etc) for later consumption.
		It needs to impale small mammalian prey before it can consume it and such prey is tackled by eating the head and limbs first.
