Some more gratuitous twitching, and out of the PBC area for the second day running. Disgraceful. This Great Grey Shrike has been in Oakham, Rutland, for about a month now so this weekend I decided it was finally time to pay it a visit.
A great bird, not far away - why not?
It spent a lot of time perched on the overhead cables, and became quite animated when it heard some Long-tailed Tits calling (potential snack, I suppose). We also watched it hovering briefly to snatch an insect from the air.
