Great Grey Shrike - Waddington Fell, Lancashire - 4th March 2010




I went to twitch the waddington fell Great Grey Shrike and was lucky to get wonderful light and relatively good views of the bird. With a telescope, the photos would be much better as the distance was about 100 meters and 75 meters at best.
