The steppe grey shrike (Lanius excubitor pallidirostris) is a subspecies of songbird in the shrike family (Laniidae) native to Central Asia and parts of northern China, Iran, Afghanistan and Pakistan. Formerly considered either a species in its own right or a subspecies of the southern grey shrike (Lanius meridionalis) complex, it is now classified as a subspecies of the great grey shrike.
The steppe grey shrike was described by the American ornithologist John Cassin in 1851 under the binomial name Lanius pallidirostris. The generic Lanius is Latin for a "butcher" and the specific pallidirostris combines the Latin pallidus for "pale" and -rostris for "billed".
It differs from the nominate subspecies of great grey shrike in being slightly longer-winged and shorter-tailed, and with more extensive white on the primaries. The pale bill from which it was described, only applies to juvenile and first-winter birds; adults have a black bill and lores similar to nominate L. e. excubitor.
We went for a walk. She looked for chestnuts that had fallen from our neighbors tree. I looked for a photo opportunity.
Popped by Christmas Wonderland twice this year. This is the only shot that I'm satisfied with so far.
Seal pup taken at Donna Nook in Lincolnshire. It's a shame about the fence but not much I could do about it as he was so close to it.

Looking west along the beautiful little valley south of King George V.
Taken on a trip to Mount Regan, Castlecrag Mountain, Mount Frink, Mount George V, Peak 1920, and Peak 1909.
When I look over my shoulder,
What do you think I see ?
Some other cat looking over
His shoulder at me
And he's strange, sure he's strange.
You've got to pick up every stitch,

Despite the fact it's beaten up and faded, WC 3018 still looks good on the point of the oil local in Lemont, IL. The last time I saw a WC in service was almost 3 years ago in Stevens Point, and ironically enough, it was this very unit.
For a photo from my last encounter with this unit in the winter of 2009, click here! www.flickr.com/photos/eje665/4164640619/
