Many birders have commented on the 'pecker when watching the shrike, has the pair developed a favourable feeding arrangement? I haven't seen this behaviour before, or heard of it, any thoughts??
Paddy in his Kestrel work has met the Land manager for 3 of the Preseli plantations, he has said that he has seen the shrike in Pantmaenog. Worth a look for a second shrike? a least 5 in Wales for the past 2 weeks, inc. 2 in 1 forest.!
