Great Grey Shrike @ Hafren Forest

Still hunting the same area of clear fell today. Other birds of note included 30+ Crossbills, 1 Willow Tit, 1 Kestrel and 3 sightings of Sparrowhawk (probably the same bird?).

    Lovely picture Paul. I'm just back from my trip to Trinidad and Tobago, so it was nice to some good local bird sightings, well done.
