Being a beautiful crisp fresh juvenile the fanned tail in the lower image above neatly portrays the dark subterminal spots as well as the uniform buffish vent and undertail coverts in addition to the visible pale tips to both its underwing and upperwing coverts.

Juvenile Red-backed Shrike at Rodmell
We bumped into Andy Williams who very kindly went out of his way to take us and show us a juvenile Red-backed Shrike that he had found. It performed superbly atop hawthorns until flushed by a Sparrowhawk whereupon it was seen to fly towards the riding stables where unfortunately we couldn't find it again.
