Day of the Shrike 2. This time its a county tick.

Harry texted me yesterday evening to say he had just found an Isabelline Shrike on the Old Head of Kinsale...in the same general area that the other shrikes had been (indeed the woodchat shrike was present with the Izzy)

Myself and shop lashed down to see this bird, giving shop his 200th tick.
Gorgeous bird..and what a sight to see it munching on a freshly killed robin!!!
Incredible!

Lots of caps and crests on the head also, but nothing else major!

Nice one H!
