Me and John went to see the Red-backed Shrike
took around 1 hour to get to the park as we arrived
we saw people looking at the bird so we walked to the group
and was shown the shrike about 90 ft away it stayed distant
all the time we were there.feeding with no paths close but grass 5ft high
so you only saw it part of the time.
