At last I managed to get some pictures of the great grey shrike that's been eluding me for weeks. Hopefully I'll be able to get even more before it finally flies off for the breeding season.

The fence is the outer limits to one of the Royal Palaces. Behind the fence is a large open area of rough land that was recently scraped flat, due to the Crown Prince taking up residence for a few days.

Excellent shots... Shrikes are probably my favourite species, just a shame that there are so few around in the U.K. (a handful of Red-backed still breed but it's very hush hush). A photo of a Shrike ripping apart another bird always surprises non-birders, who are largely unaware that anything other than a raptor will hunt other birds.
Talking of Raptors, spotted a Goshawk yesterday, from the unlikely enviroment of a Little Chef on the A1 in Bedfordshire.

We get a lot here Andy, on the same fence were a couple of isabelline's. I took a couple of shots but they weren't too good. Never mind, last year I got some good ones.

There are few pictures of some hypercolious in this section if your interested.

Great pic as always, Adrian!!

One question though: How come your birds are always perced on barbed wire while mine are sprawled on beaches?
