Whilst sea watching i was checking Robs pager and i all most had a heart attack when it beeped and said " Ring ouzel Old lighthouse" which is where we parked the car,so i told Rob and Dad a male and just ran to see it, but Marc who saw it said that it flew into cover, whilst looking for the Ring ouzel we noticed lots of Willow warblers moving around in the gorse bushes which was a nice year tick.then a ouzel flew up giving us a flight view we managed to see its pale wing bands and the white crescent , it done this several more times, me and Rob then went for a drink ,but dad waited to see if he could see the bird again and almost stood on it before it flew up in to the bushes and gave a good brief view before it wasn’t seen again.  |
