25th July Saturday - Sunny, 27C, mod W/NW, cloud increasing evening,

Misterton; morning

Green woodpecker, Treecreeper, adult Buzzard and juv calling, Song Thrush smashing snails on the lane.


Long-tailed Shrike

Decided it was time to see the 3rd Long-tailed Shrike ever recorded in the UK, it has been faithful to a farmland site and reported during the day.  

When I got there it was in the favoured bush area and at times was busy catching food on the ground, seemed to be mostly Beetles.  Completely, ignoring the many birders watching it, not that far away really.

Given the excessive bright sunshine  I managed some good record shots.
