Rouzel Treed! or is it wousel Eeyore?

Late on the evening of Thursday an Email from Andy Lathem, got me up early for a look to see if the Ring ouzel was still at the Hadnall paddocks? I am glad I did as it saved me the trip to Titterstone again so another one for the year list.

Whilst it did prove elusive at times, it was easier to watch the Blackbirds chasing it around a big clue as to where it was. A bonus birds today Sunday was the Redstart along the edges of the ploughed field a couple of hundred meters further along where the Rouzel had also been earlier. What a stonking little bird. if a bit distant.

A very slightly closer view.

Unfortunately the Grey partridge and Corn bunting remained well out of reach, even for a record shot still tomorrows another day.

So short, to say the least but informative?
