Red-backed Shrike at Wanstead

Nick found a Red-backed Shrike on his patch over the flats on Tuesday around 2 o'clock & he posted it on Bird guides,20 minutes later Jimmy & I are heading over there.
Unfortunately as we approach him the bird takes flight & over the next 2 hours all we get are 3 flight views. We are told this is the first Red-backed Shrike since 1980 so pretty rare for here.
So we decide to head back over the flats today in the hope of a better view.
We spend around 4 hours there & are rewarded with 3 good views of this juvenile bird,it was still very elusive but with a bit of patience we get our reward.
After we have had our fill of the Shrike we head over to the now burnt out enclosure that still has a fair bit of scrub left to try to find any Pied Flycatchers 2 had been reported earlier.
It's a bit of a walk to get there but on the walk there we see 3 Whinchat they are not needed for a tick but always nice to see them.

long way off the Shrike

Once in the enclosure  a few Spotted Flycatchers are flying around but after an hour we never found any Pied.

Never got very close but a record shot.
