Hanging Houghton; the weather was forecast to become wet and windy midday-ish (it didn't) so first thing I decided to go to see the Great Grey Shrike that has been present a few days. It had just been seen when I arrived, but had dropped down out of view. In fact, it was a good 45 mins before it was seen again, now a few hundred metres further along the hedgerow. It was sitting up and showing well before again dropping down out of view and lost again.
Lots of passerines and Skylarks in the cover/bird food crops which are sown around here.
Plenty of spilt grain at the big barn where c40 Chaffinch and 3 Brambling were feeding.
Willey; at my feed station 8 Tree Sparrow, c25 House Sparrow, c6 Long-tailed Tit, 10+ each of Blue and Great Tit.
