Red Backed Shrike: From Burton Norton we dove through to Ness Point and picked up this little beauty!
Upon arriving we bumped in to a very polite local who pointed us in the direction of the birds preferred bush.
We waited with this guy for a few minutes before catching sight of the bird in a completely different bush further up the car park.
I was happy to tell this guy the bird was elsewhere as he had been waiting for a few hours in this one spot for the bird to turn up.
The bird came incredibly close as it picked off wasps that were bathing in the sunlight.
Our main aim for heading through to Suffolk was to catch up with Minsmere's Little that had been seen on and off all day.
However our luck ran out and we dipped the crake!
However due to time restrictions Alan and I were forced to leave and was proper gripped!
Perhaps an excuse to take Dawn away for a weekend......if the bird continues to show.
