Steppe Grey Shrike at Lound





8 October - a morning visit to Lound in Notts to see the Steppe Grey Shrike, a first-winter, my second in the UK and showing very well in the sunshine. Overall rather pale, with a brownish wash in certain lights, a pale bill and indistinct mask. Quite a striking bird. Lower record shot, JM - upper 2 photos, copyright Tony Tomlinson.
