Another lifer Lesser Grey Shrike.

The Lesser Shrike.

On the way home the pager goes off to say a Lesser Shrike had been seen at Harty Ferry, it's to late to try for it, so Jimmy & myself get up this morning & fingers crossed we set off to see it, no Brian as he has already got the Suffolk one a few weeks ago.
On arrival a good few people were already at the spot, so after finding out that the bird was still around, we set about walking over a ploughed field to find maybe fifty or more birders with the bird in sight.
So straight onto it for us for another lifer & a great view  with the scope. What a cracking bird to see, while watching we are put onto two Lapland Buntings, we both needed them for another year tick.
So after three weeks missing out we end up with two lifers & three year ticks for the two trips, a really good weekend.

A long way off but it's on top of the bush.
