About Rare Birds

For someone who until a few years ago, believed that all small birds were "baby" birds, my wife has been extremely fortunate in having observed some rare species in the wild.

She once told me that she has seen an Osprey snatch a fish from the river Dart. I didn't believe her, so she showed me it and darn me she was right.

Yesterday she saw a rare Great Grey Shrike in our garden.

I just wish I could see some rare'uns.
