Hopwood Strike in extended stay

I thought it was only right I dropped into Hopwood after work on Wednesday to catch up with the long staying Great Grey Shrike. It took me five minutes or so to find the bird but he was perched up in the bushes just behind the Oak in the centre of the field. 

It will be interesting how long he hangs around given the decent weather and he has been in residence since December. Great birds locally at the moment.
