The Masked Shrike — Lanius Nubicus, Licht
This is a south-eastern species, one example of which was shot in Kent in July 1905.
It is a rather smaller bird than any of our other Shrikes. The upper parts are chiefly black; scapulars, speculum, and a band across the forehead white. Chin, throat, and under tail coverts white; flanks and breast ferruginous. Length 6·8 in.; wing 3·5 in.
