Great Grey Shrike

A Great Grey Shrike, or Butcher Bird, has been spotted at Dartmoor Zoo over the last few days. Four people have reported the same bird. Excellent news as they are rare in the UK. I am also a tad annoyed that it is on my turf and i haven't seen it! I saw one in Kenya but to see one in Devon will be awesome. A pair is resident on north Dartmoor and are protected. To have a sighting at the Zoo is brilliant. I have reported it to the Rare Bird Network and the RSPB. Good news. This takes the species total spotted at the Zoo to 55!
