Great Grey Shrike

Tuesday 5th November
A late afternoon visit to the local heaths today was certainly worthwhile. I was actually looking for owls and raptors that might be roosting, but stumbled into a Great Grey Shrike instead! I didn't actually find the bird until 4.30pm, so the light wasn't great for photos, but you get the idea.
Also had a Merlin so not a bad visit.......
