Shrikey!

Wandering around Sandy Smith NR with the dogs enjoying the sunshine when I decided to have "one last look" along the tops of the bushes in the field with the silos for anything along the lines of Whinchat or Stonechat when a blurry grey, black and white thing flew through the scope and landed on top of a bush! I never tire of seeing these birds and physically smile every time I see one.

I know the pic looks more like a Monet abstract but I think I've finally got the SFYL standard of shot cracked.
