Red-Backed Shrike

I have just returned from a brilliant birding trip to Spain and have not done a lot since . But news of a male Red-Backed Shrike at Dawlish Warren got me off of my bum to see if I could catch up with it .
I arrived to find a few birders already looking for it but there was no sign of it anywhere , but after a short while eagle eyed Lee Collins found the bird and we were all able to get views of it , but it was always quite distant , but then again we are very lucky to get one of these birds passing through the Warren and it was only the 3rd one that I have seen on site .
Also seen was my first Common Cuckoo of the year and 2 Common Whitethroat .
