In addition to the shrike, the area was also good for three Wrynecks, two Whinchats, a Yellow-browed Warbler and a Snow Bunting.

Daurian Shrike at Pendeen, Cornwall
On Friday, an adult Daurian Shrike was found near the coastguard house at Pendeen. I managed to see it well today along with thirty or so other birders this morning. This is a stunning bird and a great find. They are surprisingly unusual on mainland Cornwall. In fact this is my first for the county, with all my previous records being on Scilly.
