Hi all,
I have a 14 hour layover in Frankfurt in early November on the way to S.Africa.
When Cornell split Great Grey Shrike off from the Northern Shrike, Great Grey became a potential lifer for me. I figure I'll take this window to go looking for one.
Can anybody advise a reliable place to find a shrike within an hour or two of the airport? I'll plan to have a car so a reasonable trip of 1-2 hours is possible, especially if there's other good birding to be had.
TIA,
Jeff
