Northern Grey Shrike.

A wintering Northern Grey Shrike has returned to an upland area near Brecon. It's lovely to see this bird back again, I wonder where he's been? I would love to have seen him on his travels. After Tuesday's report by two top local patch workers I was itching to see him. However, yesterday's weather was dreadful and as a result I was penned in, but today I was there early to try and see him. I was lucky to see him almost as I arrived, there was nobody around and the bird was relaxed, he doesn't like people so you have to get there early. I managed to shoot him perched on a fence post as I hid behind a large gorse bush. It really is very nice to see this bird again, I hope he has a pleasant and safe winter here!
I have subsequently photographed him in various locations.
