We had made plans to visit Weeting on the 28th Febuary, however these plans had to be changed at the last minute. Today was our first chance since then to visit, the weather forecast was not looking good, in fact it was looking pretty grim, with heavy rain showers predicted. We put the rain gear on, but were greeted with sunshine upon arrival!
We parked by ride 47 and followed the track to the clearfell. It took several scans of the area before eventually finding the shrike. I had brief views of it in flight, then enjoyed much better views when it perched at the top of a tall tree stump. It was quite active, visiting many of the trees and bushes within the clearfell.
Up until this point we had escaped without any rain but as we headed back up the track the gathering clouds turned from grey to black and duly delivered the predicted heavy rain.
