		It is a common resident breeder throughout the Indomalayan ecozone from India to New Guinea, found on bushes in scrubby areas and cultivation.
		It has some resemblences to the grey shrikes such as the Southern Grey Shrike, Lanius meridionalis, sharing the pearl grey head and mantle and fl mask extending from the forehead, through the eye, to the ear coverts.

	Southern Grey Shrike - Lanius meridionalis - Pie-grièche méridionale
		The eyepatch of Southern grey shrike is generally larger, standing out in sharper contrast with white cheeks and rest of underparts.
		Southern grey shrike hunts scorpion, dancing round it while is waiting for the good moment to peck its sting, and then, it eats its prey.
		Males of Southern grey shrike seem to be fairly loyal to their breeding area, so it is the females that are more likely to roam further.

	Shrikes
		Shrike and Scissortail described a brilliant figure eight in the fading light, paired loops 30 feet tall, the visual effect of their flashing colors like a sparkler waved around by an outstretched arm.
		All shrikes share the distinctive habit of impaling their prey upon spines and twigs, earning for the family the common sobriquet of “butcher bird”.
		Shrikes are usually monogamous, both sexes construct a cup-shaped nest at moderate height in a tree or bush and both sexes feed the young.

		Shrikes are a charismatic group of birds occurring throughout most of the Old World and North America.
		The family Lassitude consists of 31 species in three genera, if the Southern Grey Sheiks and Great Grey Sheiks are accepted as separate species which the author recommends.
		Shrikes because of their habit of impaling their prey on the thorns of bushes, were known in the countryside as 'butcher-birds' and, indeed, their Latin name lanius means butcher.

	Identificacion
		Although some diehard birdwatchers still insist on using the across-the-board term "Great Grey Shrike" for both lanius excubitor and lanius meridionalis, the fact is that they have now been recognised as different species by the international scientific community (Isenmann & Bouchet 1993, Isenmann & Le Franc 1994).
		The truth is that the commonest grey shrike of the Spanish countryside is the Southern Grey Shrike, whose range is restricted to the Iberian Peninsula and the Mediterranean coast of France.
		The range of the Great Grey Shrike, for its part (remember we are dealing here only with the nominate subspecies) spreads throughout the whole of central Europe, the southernmost limit being marked by the French Pyrenees...

	A new species Photo \| TrekNature
		The reason for this is not so much because of the discovery of new species, but because of the modern methods of determining new species from those birds that were previously regarded as sub-species.
		A few years ago the Southern Grey Shrike was regarded as a subspecies of the Great Grey Shrike.
		This individual is a Canary Island sub-species of the Southern Grey Shrike and it occurs commonly on Lanzarote.

		The Grey Shrike thrush is a rather unprepossessing little bird with mainly greyish plumage with olive-grey back, with pale grey-white cheeks & under parts.
		This bird is a forager, mainly on the ground around fallen logs, but also on the limbs and trunks of trees, looking for insects, spiders, small mammals, frogs and lizards and occasionally fruit and seeds to eat.
		The Grey Shrike-thrush usually mates for life and inhabit the same areas throughout this time.

		You'll see huge arable areas and vast olive groves, full of brightly coloured flowers, rich in insect and other invertebrate life which is a perfect environment for an extremely varied and abundant bird population.
		Visit any southern Spanish town or village and you'll see that White Storks are encouraged to build their large, twiggy nest constructions, on top of churches and other buildings.
		No years are ever the same and generally speaking the weather plays a big part in what species or groups arrive on the Coast or which ones decide that southern Spain is an ideal place to spend the winter.
