Ring Ouzels
Cuckoo
We set out this morning to see the grasshopper warbler that we heard singing last week, but it was late in the morning as Karen had a Sunday morning double shift of sleep ! We could hear a cuckoo calling, a whitethroat was singing and giving us good views, a wheatear was on the fence but what caught our eye were these 3 ring ouzels. They are one of our favourite birds and we were over the moon with our find. They fed, drank, bathed and snoozed and after a couple of hours we thought they had departed. A walk further along the lane and there they were again but distant. They flew again, landing in the tree before moving on. What a day, brilliant !
