At last we found a Red-backed Shrike at the Mere. Neither I nor Jon had managed to see previous visitors so it was good to get a record at last.
It was in the hedgerow that separates first and second fields and stayed most of the day, though it was rather flighty.

As I came back through the fields MJ was there waiting for the shrike to re-appear, and I managed another sighting before I left again. Hopefully Mike got it too.
Three Stonechat were also flitting along the hedge and flying down to the fence line. I had four there yesterday so they are hanging around.
