Grey-backed Shrike, Latli.^ Hist. II. p. 9. 
Bhadraya, of the Hills of Nepal, Hodgs. 
Baqah A Tenth A, of the Plains (ditto). 
a. Nepal. Presented by B. H. Hodgson, Esq., July, 1853. 
" This Shrike is common in the open country in Nepal," says Mr. 
Hodgson, " in groves and gardens during winter, but resorts to the 
woods in summer. It feeds on all sorts of hard and soft (both 
flying and creeping) insects, and their larvae and pupae ; also small 
lizards, feeble birds, mice, and almost any living thing the bird can 
master ; perches on the upper and barer branches of trees and 
bushes, whence it descends to seize its prey on the ground ; some- 
times picks it from foliage, but very seldom seizes on the wing. 
Has a harsh voice, very like the kestril's, and is perpetually vocife- 
rating from its perch. It is bold and daring in its manners, and 
easily caught by any insect bait." * — (Ind. Eev. I. p. 445.)
