I had just interpreted the reports on the RBA site to say that this was the first mainland sighting, this has now been removed. The reported sightings of the Brown Shrike at both Flamborough Head and North Uist do not appear on the RBA site or on the official BOU accepted list and being relatively new to serious birding had not heard of the aforementioned sightings.<br />I appreciate comments both positive and negative, but would also appreciate sources to be given if I get it wrong so I can check things out myself and correct them.<br /><br />DerekDerek Gallagherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11238137446472290784noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7158817447876409970.post-1513617252341222462009-11-05T22:44:24.118+00:002009-11-05T22:44:24.118+00:00The Yorkshire(Flamborough Head) bird was present a...The Yorkshire(Flamborough Head) bird was present around about September 25 last year and there was also another one recorded a couple of months on North Uist.
