Shrike Two
I went back to the patch this evening for a second bite at the Red-backed Shrike and I'm glad to say that it showed really well (It's amazing what you can achieve when you don't have two children to entertain). I also managed to add Pied Flycatcher to the year list (that's number 100 up) with one possibly two birds amongst three or four Spotted Flycatchers in Centre Copse - It's never easy to confirm accurate counts when the birds are flitting high up in the canopy, and with up to Seven Whinchats scattered across the Flats and a report of a Tree Pipit, the patch is finally starting to deliver the goods this autumn.

ReplyDeleteCheers Nick, and an excellent find!
ReplyDeletenice one TB, nice to see better detail
ReplyDeleteThanks Jono - The bird is starting to become more tolerant of the increasing number of visiting birders, so I expect to see some even better photos in the next day or two.
