A long, long way from home

Adult male Turkestan (Red-tailed) Shrike enjoying the golden hour morning sunshine on the Suffolk coast. It should be migrating south from central Asia at this time of year.

 

it is in prime condition and feeding well on various bugs, wasps and bees.

 

It was pretty special to get to the coast just before dawn and watch the sun rise from the sea with virtually no clouds in the sky and no wind.

 

Fingers crossed for this stunning bird.
