Short pause in a busy life

Is this a grey shrike thrush? It's small, quick, and I've never seen one before

Great composition and lovely capture.

Beautiful shot, how nice of it to land on the barbed wire with the lovely grasses. My experience of a grey shrike thrush is that it is a little larger than "small", but not sufficiently confident to say no:)

lovely composition but I dont know what it is

[Joyce]

A great capture Robyn. Can't help you with the identification though!
