BROWN SHRIKE

The great birds just keep on coming. I picked a good Autumn for my rehab'. A was hoping to connect with a Shrike...I didn't expect it to be a BROWN one! Yet another Spurn tick (277), not a Yorks one as I saw the Flamborough bird.
 
I must admit I didn't rush down. Instead I returned home to drop Bud off so I could enjoy a quieter experience! On arrival the bird had done a disappearing act. It didn't show for another 40 minutes. Anyway, eventually it did. It was very active and did a circuit around the Canal Bank. It kept it's distance from the increasing crowd but I managed a few shots to give a flavour of the occasion...
