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.
