Résumé :	The Red-backed Shrike Lanius collurio ceased to be a regular breeder in the UK in the 1980s, but over the past ten years a series of breeding records, notably at two sites, one in Wales and one on Dartmoor, Devon, raised hopes for the prospects of recolonisation. In addition, isolated pairs have bred at various sites in Scotland in several years since 2000. This paper outlines the recent breeding records, describes the status of the species in the UK and Europe and examines what factors caused the demise of the UK population and the priorities for a potential return.
