Great grey shrike, Plumstone



The shrike was very mobile and gave myself and James R a bit of a run around. It uses the whole site, though appears to favour the hawthorn and willow scrub (SM 91435 22702) across the path to the paddock. Spent a nice couple of hours in its company as it chased bees, nice one Kim. And good to meet Terry Allen who pointed me in the right direction. And a bonus Ringtail Hen harrier being chased by a crow near St Catherines Bridge.
