Great Grey or Lesser Grey shrike,ID please (1 Viewer)

Atricapilla

Still Wandering
Just got back from my patch and I am not sure whether this is a Great grey shrike or a 1st winter Lesser grey,it was over 100 metres away hence the poor quality of the shot.Any ideas!!!!

Looks fine for 1st winter Lesser Grey - primaries look long and the wing pattern is okay. I think Great Grey would be fairly unusual where you are too.
 
Thats what I was afraid you would say Andrew,but we do get a few winter Great greys passing through,again wishful thinking on my behalf I think!!!!!
