Out of area

The great grey shrike that has been around East Lancs for most of the winter is now in Higham, not far from Burnley. It has been slowly edging south over the past few weeks, and I reckon it can only be 7-8 miles (as the shrike flies) to Gorple/Walshaw. So, if it vanishes from its current location, it might be worth a look...

There is a record of this shrike from Clifton Beck, upstream of Wellhome Park, one winter in the 1980s.
