Red-backed Shrike, Donna Nook, Lincs

Headed back to Donna Nook for the red-backed shrike that had been reported earlier. A walk along the coastal path to Pye's Hall was, without doubt, the best birding day we have ever had on the Lincs coast with a massive fall of birds. The path was littered with wheatears, pied and spotted flycatchers were in every bush along with redstarts and whinchats and a few lesser whitethroats made Simon's day.  It was spectacular and we loved every minute of it. What made it extra special was that there was just us two and a million mosquitoes !  We did eventually see the shrike, our last bird of the day when we had nearly given up. We couldn't have wished for better views. 







BINGO !!
