These are beautiful shrikes, don't you think PW... you're so lucky to have them breeding near you.

You've taken a super set of pictures of them lad - very well done.

It's wonderful to see you posting your pictures again.

Thanks, Delia. Yes, I have had some health issues, but now I hope to be able to participate on a more steady basis.
