Gravel Pits - Goslar

Funny that I should mention not seeing any Red-backed Shrikes - I've just bagged a male at my local gravel pit.  Unfortunately it flew off before I was able to photograph it.  I did, however, get some shots of my resident Great Reed Warbler who was clashing his way through some undergrowth literally, at one point, at my feet.  He was here last year and its good to see him back safely.
