News came through late yesterday of 2 male Ring Ouzels near Burbage, so this morning I went to see them. They were feeding a little distantly in horse paddocks. Good views were had, however, the heat haze was quite bad and made a photo impossible, maybe there will be further birds pass through on their migration.
A lady groomed her horse in the field, leaving a pile of horse hair, this immediately attracted several Jackdaws that gathered as much as they could, no doubt for their nests.
Immediately after a snack I went to see the Great Grey Shrike that has been on the Warren Hills (Leices) for a couple of days. It was showing really well, again too far for a decent photo, but it was great to see this scarce winter visitor to the midlands.
Back at Shawell Lagoons Carl had another Iceland Gull, which had disappeared by the time I got there, on the nearby pools there were 2 Little-ringed Plover.
