Managed to catch up with this wonderful bird on our visit to see the gannets and their chicks.
A fabulous selection of photos of the Red Tailed/Turkestan Shrike, an interesting visitor, and quite ornate in colour and markings.

I believe I heard someone say only a handful ever recorded though I don't know how "learned" he was.
