Made the trip down to Somerset to see this pretty little shrike. A first for me and a pleasure to watch and photograph.

Tried for a few flight shots but it was so quick at launching off for insects, we kept missing it! Carl (Malvern Birder) got one of it in flight as it left a perch in a tree but that must have been luck![Wink ;) ;)](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
