Lanius excubitor.

After several visits to Thursley Common today I finally managed to get a reasonable image of a Great Grey Shrike (Lanius excubitor) that regularly spends its winter here.

Reed Bunting.

A visit to Warnham LNR recently provided the opportunity to get some close views of a species I have only once recorded on my local patch, the Reed Bunting (Emberiza schoenichus). One particular female provided some interesting poses.

The male also made an appearance at the feeding station so below are a couple of images.
