what is it?

The lesser grey shrike ( Lanius minor ) is a member of the shrike family Laniidae . It breeds in South and Central Europe and western Asia in the summer and migrates to winter quarters in southern Africa in the early autumn, returning in spring. It is a scarce vagrant to western Europe, including Great Britain, usually as a spring or autumn erratic.
