Willey; 2010h, I heard Fieldfare calling and looking up high, there was c35 (and a couple of Redwings) flying northward slowly, they then circled back and headed southwards.
Shawell sandpit, highlight this morning was a single Black-tailed Godwit feeding.
Honey Hill, Cold Ashby; I decided to pop down the road to Northants to see the reported Ring Ouzels, possibly up to 5. When I arrived a couple of birders had been watching the Ouzels, but two others had started to walk through the field where they were and flushed them - needlessly. A heavy shower came through and all the other folks left, I sheltered and when it stopped raining I searched, viewing from the path again.
I spotted a male Wheatear and Blackbirds but no Ouzels. However, scanning the next area of the field, there they were, in fact SIX Ouzels all out feeding on the field. Further 5 Wheatear were also feeding on the field. So, in the end good views were had. Four males and two Females. They often disappeared in to the thick boarding hedgerow for a while.
