This afternoon the Shrike was a bit distant but content to remain in the same area for quite a while.
A couple of local cyclists very kindly held back while I enjoyed views of the bird.
When they eventually joined me to view it through the 'scope it had moved closer to the path, so when they cycled on it flew off never to be seen again, just before Edward arrived.
It was one of those horrid 'it was here a few moments ago' moments which we have all experienced!
