Hi to you all. I’m new to this sight and have had to set up an account purely on the grounds of my sighting! Having had a long day in the Mountains I returned to the small car park at the end of Loch Ericht yesterday and was stunned to see a Shrike sitting on a fence post. I watched him for some time darting into the rough ground and returning to the post several times. I got a poor photo of him on some barbed wire. I know there are few if no sightings of this bird in this or indeed the West of Scotland. However I am fairly confident of my identification. If anyone is visiting the area I would be very grateful if they could report if they can confirm a sighting. I’m also happy to be corrected on the identification. I’ll add the poor photograph for your thoughts please.
