Made 2 visits looking for the GG SHRIKE today.. total 4 hours to no avail… Talked to the local farmer who is a keen naturalist(?) who said he hadn’t spotted it since the group was there on Sunday… Oh well.!

Anyway: Couple of pairs of stone chats kept me company. Along with a snipe, buzzard, pair of ravens, flyover peregrine, pair of bullfinches and several mobile reed buntings
