Scillies - Day 8 - Homeward bound via Pendeen Brown Shrike

 Pendeen Brown Shrike
Only a dozen birders present

Best shot of a mobile bird

With Pendeen just ten minutes from Land's End Airport I couldn't resist the chance to see my second ever Brown Shrike. Knowing how Brown Shrikes can be illusive I decided I'd give it an hour before setting off up the M5. Any such concerns were completely not needed as this stunning small Shrike was showing as soon as I arrived. The bird was quite mobile and on occasions went into cover but it wasn't long until it showed again to a group of around a dozen birders and photographers. A great way to end the holiday.
