Great Grey Shrike - Stoke Common

 This Great Grey Shrike was found at Stoke Common by Dave Ferguson early afternoon on 4th November 2022.  The bird moved around the SW part of the main common eating insects, including one Bee.  About ten birders managed to see the bird before dark.

There have been 23 sightings of this species in the county but none of these were at Stoke Common, which is perhaps the most suitable habitat for the species in the county.
