One would think that a bird named Grey Butcherbird is a shrike or at least related to shrikes (which are commonly called butcherbirds), but one would be wrong, as Duncan already explained in a 2014 post for 10,000 Birds. “She monitors Pied Oystercatchers breeding along a 23km stretch of beach by bicycle and on foot.”
