Steve Young took these shots of the Great Grey Shrike at Fernworthy Reservoir yesterday afternoon (Sunday 15 November).

The bird was showing well on a steep, clear-felled area on the south side of reservoir. It spent much of its time hovering at height trying to catch bumble-bees.

Christopher Brooking has emailed us to say that on 21 of February, at about 12.00 noon, he enjoyed a very good view of a Great Grey Shrike perched on a bush behind Laughter Tor, south of the Bellever estate on Dartmoor.
