Red-backed shrike, Dale airfield



A juv Red-backed shrike, in and around the blackthorn thicket near Hooper's Point, overlooking Marloes Sands, this afternoon between 2 and 3.30. Map link. Views always fleeting, as it only settles for a few seconds, before it would loop out of sight as it chases insects. Also a Whinchat. 3 Blackcaps. Pair Kestrels. 25 Ringed plover, 4 Dunlin and 4 Sanderling
