Monotonous speaker curtailed by "Cor blimey, naked bird" (6,6)
I haven't cracked this one yet — but Times for the Times have:
Bet you didn’t know drongo is a Madagascan word, and the bird is any of 20 or so types scattered all over Africa and Asia. The “shrike” bit appears to identify the birds as shrike-like.
