@AlexMasterman0 Glad to have found your 300th UK bird Alex!

Just a day after I saw my 299th bird for the UK, I managed today to catch up today with the Woodchat Shrike at Anderby Creek! Making this my big 300th species for the UK!! Please excuse the awful record shot as it was what felt like 100mph winds!

@rhbirding Ah, great to give you a birthday present Roy! Many happy returns!

Grateful thanks to @siddle_ho for finding this lovely Woodchat Shrike in Lincolnshire on my birthday!
