Aurora borealis

Shrike II

Latest on the Lesser Grey - went yesterday after work to try and digiscope it, but appalling rain meant I abandoned the attempt before I got out of the car; lunchtime today was a bit better (heavy drizzle), so managed a better record shot, but the bird was v distant, the scope was being battered by the wind, and the visibility was still a bit crap (excuses, excuses).

Anyway:

And here's hoping I can find another one nearer to home this weekend (female Red-backed still below the plantation... right family, wrong species!)
