Superb images John and Sue, I went for both today (Saturday) managed only the Isabelline. The Redback is very close to where I live but work and weather got in the way.
beautiful images of a bird I have never seen before. it's always nice to photograph them in a tree or with a natural background. I always cheat with peanuts and trick them in to getting their picture taken!!!

ReplyDeleteI didn't realize Red-backed Shrike occurred in Britain. Is this a rarity or is it a regular?
