The great grey shrike (Lanius excubitor) is a large and predatory songbird species in the shrike family. It forms a superspecies with its parapatric southern relatives, the Iberian grey shrike, the Chinese grey shrike, and the American loggerhead shrike. Males and females are similar in plumage, pearly grey above with a black eye-mask and white underparts.
Breeding takes place generally north of 50° northern latitude in northern Europe and Asia. Most populations migrate south in winter to northern Africa.
The great grey shrike is carnivorous, with rodents making up over half its diet.

What a perfect photo! The bird, it's rocky perch, the background, the textures and almost but not quite monochromatic colours!
