Radde’s Shrike breeds in central Asia, in northern Persia, 
Transcaspia, and the western Altai. 
Oscar Neumann obtained a single male example, not 
yet moulted, at Umbugwe, in German East Africa, on 
November 15, 1893, and this constitutes the only African 
record. It may be presumed that Radde’s Shrike winters 
occasionally in East Africa.
