Daurian Shrike
Introduction
The taxonomy of shrikes is complicated. Daurian Shrike forms part of a group with Red-backed Shrike and Turkestan Shrike. Duarian and Turkestan Shrikes were formerly identified as 'Isabelline Shrike' and assignment of old records to the separate forms is difficult. This is a rare visitor from central Asia. More than half of the records have come from November.
Daurian Shrike is migratory, wintering to the south and west of the breeding range, from Pakistan west to central Africa.
