Hi all, Eric's shrike was there in the same field again today, between about 1:45 and 3:30 pm. Perching both on hay bales and in the more distance hedgerows. At one point caught a mouse after watching from a haybale, shook it vigorously, and eventually flew off with it presumably to cache. Fun to watch.

We saw it yesterday and followed it for a while without very good looks. But today it appeared as we were driving up Nelson, it sat close to the road on a hay bale for a while while we sat in the car staring it awe. Such a gorgeous bird!
