Excellent shots... Shrikes are probably my favourite species, just a shame that there are so few around in the U.K. (a handful of Red-backed still breed but it's very hush hush). A photo of a Shrike ripping apart another bird always surprises non-birders, who are largely unaware that anything other than a raptor will hunt other birds.
Talking of Raptors, spotted a Goshawk yesterday, from the unlikely enviroment of a Little Chef on the A1 in Bedfordshire.
cheers
