Masked Shrike and more at Deffi Park – Bird records by Munzir Khan

Munzir kindly sent me a few photos he took at Deffi Park recently. The fact I found Black-throated Thrushes there a few weeks ago has meant that a few more birders and photographers have visited recently. Munzir went and found the Masked Shrike that has wintered in the park and managed to take a great photo of it, much better than anything I have managed so far. He also photographed the Common Kingfisher and White Wagtail that are regularly seen in the park. Masked Shrike is an uncommon passage migrant with a few birds wintering each year and Deffi Park being a site they favour. I thank Munzir for sending the details and allowing me to use his excellent photos that are shown below.
