Great Grey Shrike





A trip over to Lincolnshire during the week resulted in this magnificent great grey shrike.It took some finding following some dodgy directions but well worth the trip.

Wood Sandpiper & White Wagtail













We called in at Swinemoor yesterday after seeing the King Eider.There had been some reports of white wagtail and wood sandpiper so we set off towards the hump back bridge.




A single white wag was feeding on the banks of Barmston Drain.Nice bird and a lifer.




Further down we saw a wood sandpiper feeding quite close in a flooded part of the common.




Managed to get quite close, and I was pleased with the results.
