Well, there is no doubt what this shrike is eating. I saw the vole first, spiked on the birch tree branch on Beeley Triangle, and waited whilst the shrike was hunting elsewhere but after about an hour it flew back to the vole for a snack.
Two great shots Andy,Peter got shots of it eating a Common Lizard as well, I've added a link for you, looks like it's found a good source of food in the quarry :-)

Brilliant powers of observation! Well done and thank you for sharing on what is one of my favourite blogs...
ReplyDeleteThanks Chaps, had a look at Peter's shot with the lizard, very good. A very early lizard but presumably a tasty snack!
