GREY SHRIKE-THRUSH...

.... a new find for me again today.

Had to quickly go back home to check something before picking Alice up from school, and having sorted things quickly, had time to drop by a new spot along the mighty Hawkesbury River on the way back.

Straight away a pair of these were flitting around the sheoks along the river bank. Liked this other angle here on Flickr, and check out their call here thanks to Birds in Backyards - scroll down on RHS of page.

Enjoy and have a look in LARGE
