Great Grey Shrike

This morning I went out to the Bellever Tor on Dartmoor with a mate to look for the GREAT GREY SHRIKE that has been reported there & when we got up on the tor we found the snow quite deep in places ! but after a short search we were soon getting good views of the bird but it was very mobile , while we were there also seen was a COMMON CROSSBILL , 5 LESSER REDPOLL , 2 MISTLE THRUSH & a GREAT SPOTTED WOODPECKER , also seen in the village of Bellever were 3 STOCK DOVE & at Postbridge there was around 10 SISKIN .
