The BROWN SHRIKE is still present at the north end of Staines Moor today (Thursday 17 December) and is gradually becoming much more warmer coloured on the underparts and flanks (see Jason Atkinson's fabulous image above).
DIRECTIONS
I am not sure which airport you will be arriving at.but from wherever, you need to get on to the M25 and leave at Junction 14 (best to arrive from the north but remember to ignore the new Terminal 5 Heathrow turnoff). At the roundabout go straight over into 'Stanwell Moor' and continue into the village. At the 'Anchor' pub, turn right into Hithermoor Road and follow it around to the southern end after 650 yards. From here, you take the footpath that runs south along the west side of King George VI Reservoir for 400 yards, veering off right on the extremely muddy track that takes you out on the Staines Moor. Once you have crossed the boardwalk, you will come out on to the moor proper and the bird favours the scattered bushes on the west side of the river at SU 034 735. Wellington Boots are essential.
