Brown Shrike at Flamborough Head



25 Sept - a 4hr drive to Flamborough Head, and good views of the Brown Shrike, police in attendance for the assembled masses and ensuing crowd on road/traffic etc! An adult, with chestnut cap, prominent eyestripe, brownish upperparts and buff sides to flanks. A Red-backed Shrike was in the same hedge for comparison. A Yellow-browed Warbler seen well in the Old Fall Plantation, but I couldn't pin down the Red-breasted Flycatcher.
