Market Weighton

As we were driving quite close to Market Weighton today on our way to Hornsea, we diverted a few miles and called in to see if the Great Grey Shrike was still about this afternoon.

After bimbling about for half an hour or so and walking past the place it had been seen in the past few days, it was located on the other side of the road in a hedgerow. It showed well for a few minutes but as I had been over the other side of the dam I only saw it for about a minute and no chance to get any photos as too busy looking at it :) Met a couple of other birders there and had a pleasant chat with them, one of whom has just moved to Calderdale so that was a nice coincidence.
