Gunthorpe - Red Backed Shrike

"This is the first post of my birdwatching log, so I thought I might as well start with a couple of older records. The first is of a Red Backed Shrike that appeared in someones garden in the small village of Gunthorpe"

Went to look for a female Red Backed Shrike, and found it! It's the first time I have seen one! It was moving between distant trees at the opposite side of a field, you definately needed a scope to watch it. This was the first shrike I have seen and it struck me how small it was.
