Woodchat Shrike

A birder has reported seeing a woodchat shrike near Halifax a few hours ago. This info was on the Bird Forum. He was wondering where to report it to. He's also posted a photograph of the bird. Nothing yet on Bird Guides.

Location on Birdforum given as follows "It was in Soyland, near Cottonstones, which is near Halifax. It was up Wicking Lane in the field opposite Noah Dale Farm.
It was present on Thursday 24th July. It is a remote location with no reserve near it. Only I saw it as I was on my own."

What a great find. It just seems a pity it's taken a week to surface. If you Google 'Halifax Birdwatchers', the very top entry contains Nick D's home phone number and address.
