Watching the Siberian Thrush at Asta, Tingwall, Shetland this afternoon. If we all had fishing rods in our hands whilst standing in that loch, folk would think we were completely normal. Funny old world…😉

This fabulous Lesser Grey Shrike at Winterton Dunes in East Norfolk today was another great find by Barry Jarvis. I don’t recall seeing one in this intriguing plumage before. Thoughts on a postcard please…
