...and all in East Anglia! Today's target was another long-staying bird - a juvenile Brown Shrike at Hollesley, near my old stamping ground, the Rendlesham Forest. An early start should have seen Brian and me on site by 8.00am: in fact there were so many road blockages and detours, it took us an hour longer! Still, fortunately the bird was easy to see (which was a relief) although photography was through two chain-link fences - not ideal!
Other birds included Woodlark, Crossbill and Dartford Warbler - none of which we managed to photograph - before moving south east to Shingle Street. A good walk around failed to add anything to the day list, and neither did a trudge around Minsmere. (Still: lunch in a little farm shop near Westleton was good!) And so home...
