Great Grey Shrike

Got lucky for the second year in a row with a Great Grey Shrike on the local Commons this evening.
Interestingly, it was about 100 metres from the tree I found it in last year, but just three days earlier! Presumably a returning bird?
Found the bird with the Mrs at 17.00hrs (hence the dodgy pic!) after having watched a very nice male Merlin.
