AFTERNOON VISIT TO CANNOCK CHASE-STAFFORDSHIRE

Jenna and I visited Cannock Chase in Staffordshire today, hoping to see the overwintering Great Grey Shrike.


Cannock Chase

Upon our arrival, we headed to the rifle range, where we met other birders who had just seen the bird, but it had flown away. After thoroughly searching the area, I was able to spot the bird perched up on a branch. Unfortunately, it flew off again and returned to its previous location.

We couldn't find the bird again after it flew, so we returned to the car. It was a nice afternoon walk and a place I hadn't visited for years.
