Hi John Thanks for info - well, bless me, I've seen the great grey shrike and the red backed shrike this year along the Danube and the great grey shrike has been seen this week here in Worcestershire. John, more birds, please! Jeff

There should be this time of year - this species prefers forest edges , open willow brush and brush-bordered swamps and bogs .
