Great Grey Shrike at Trig Point (1 Viewer)

[Alan McFadyen]

I am travelling down from Scotland on Sunday to see the amazing Hawfinches at Sizergh then hoping to go look for the Great Grey Shrike. I have never seen one before and I would welcome any tips on trying to see this species and also if possible any pointers to the location (if its still there?) I have patchy info at the moment where to look. Any further information would be really appreciated, thanks a lot.

Thank you so much Frank, but I missed this before I went and didnt go to the Shrike sight as I thought it had gone Found out when I came back it was still present so pretty gutted. I did get to see the Hawfinches again and also my first Marsh Tits so wasnt a wasted trip. Checked out your photos on flikr mate, great range and some cracking pics. I have added you as a contact. If you ever fancy a trip up to SW Scotland let me know and Ill take you to my private woodland hide where you will get plenty good photographs. Thanks again mate, Alan
