After failing to locate the Shrike early yesterday morning and unable to visit the site previously I was determined to put matters right this morning as soon as the clouds cleared and the sun came out!
It was not too much of a problem and after a false start Ivan pointed me in the right direction and after a little while the shrike showed up, at first at quite a distance but with patience and a couple of hours later I had secured a few hundred shots. The light was good, if not a little harsh and having been joined by Bill Brooks we advanced slowly and gradually got a bit closer until the bird perched on the fence wire giving good views. Here are few from the morning............

Lovely pictures, I wish I had your light on Friday evening. I envy you the location, but have grave concerns over the erosion, hope all goes well. Check out my blog at fourmarksbirdingblogspot.co.uk
