Roger Merry and I had a good morning round Cross Inn forest today. Highlight was a great grey shrike. I note someone else has seen it this afternoon and put on Birdguides. Other birds included 2 separate male bullfinches, redwings, fieldfares mistle thrushes, goldcrest and great spotted woodpecker.
Afterwards we sojourned to the Harbourmaster for large glasses of Sauvignon Blanc, with Roger having the tasty skate and myself enjoying the spinach, perl-las and pumpkin risotto, both today's specials.
