Spent the day down the road. First stop was Easington Cemetery but no sign of the GGS. Nice Brambling (P.166) and Redstart though. Plenty of thrushes but couldn't pick out a Ring Ouzel...I (very) rarely do!
About an hour later I managed to locate the Shrike (P.167) at the back of the Cemetery...
Always a star bird, I watched it for over an hour feeding in the immediate vicinity. It had a particular liking for bees.
Finished off at Easington Church and quickly connected with one of the Black Redstarts (P.168) that have been present there for several days. I had at least 4 birds.
Good news on my Scilly list but more of that tomorrow...
