    Hi,

    This is a Steppe (Grey) Shrike, not a Southern Grey Shrike.

    Kind regards,

    Hi Willem, i know but the taxa is still discussed, and it is mentioned in the tekst that it is a ssp. pallidirostris.

    Kind regards,

    Hi Rasmus,

    Ah ok, in The Netherlands we already call the ssp pallidirostris a species, so now I understand the confusion.. ;)

    Kind regards,
