Local birders have been flocking to Woods Mill near Henfield to catch a glimpse of a very rare visitor, an Isabelline Shrike/

More commonly found in Central Asia, this cute long distance traveller has stayed around the reserve for a number of days, giving everyone decent views.

Apparently, Isabelline Shrike is a collective name for the very similar Central Asian Daurian and Turkestan Shrikes and, according to local experts, this one looks more like the former than the latter!

Another example of the incredible range of species to be seen in the SDOS recording area.
