Ring Ouzel at Fly Flatts


  Took a trip up to Fly Flatts to see the Ring Ouzel
  that had been seen up there, in fact there were 2
  while I was there and heard later that 4 had been
  seen, lots of Fieldfare reported up that way but I
  didn't see any, a bogey bird for me this year Ive
  had no luck at all apart from at a distance.
  I got up to a spotting place but was very distant
  but still glad I got to see the birds, also a Wheatear
  was seen, a few birders were up there spotting as
  well. I didn't get much photography done as grumpy
  Dave P was up there and he always makes me laugh,
  hes a proper character so I was too busy laughing than
  clicking, Andy C popped up for 5 minutes and Brian S
  was seen down by the lake with his dogs and we got a
  wave off of him, He's got some cracking pics of the bird
  on his blog. Curlew was seen and heard, a few Meadow
  Pipit were about and what could of been a Snow Bunting
  but will have to stay as a possible.
  Garden had Gold, Green, Bull and Chaffinch, Dunnock,
  Blackbird, Blue & Great Tit and a Robin.

 







                                          These Ring Ouzels are from last year
