Masked Shrike
Lanius nubicus
This first for Britain was found at Kilrenny, Anstruther, Fife on October 29th 2004, and were last seen November 14th.
It was filmed by Derek Turner.
BOU/BBRC wrote in November 2005
"There have been several previous claims, including an adult seen at Bamburgh, Northumberland on 22 October 1961. One of the reasons for rejection at the time was the unusually late date. With date no longer being an issue, this record was recirculated with the Kilrenny file but, due to insufficient detail in the description, was felt by the Committee not to meet the standards necessary for acceptance of a first for Britain"
