Had a good look at the Isabelline Shrike yesterday in glorious sun at Buckton mid-afternoon. The bird showed beautifully, energetically catching flies and bees whilst i was there. It was a very concolorous bird with a Buff back and pale underside. It also had a very distinct mask compared to pictures of other juvs i have seen. Phoenocuroides?
Dropped in at North Cave this morning. Only waders were 3 ruff but i still tried to string the small one as a Pec Sand. Good numbers of Pochard building up plus a few Wigeon and millions of Little Grebes whinying away.
