Ring Ouzel at Blow's Downs+ Osprey at Eversholt

Just Jimmy & myself head off to Dunstable as Ring Ouzel has been seen at Blows Downs, we are looking in the paddock area just before 7am.
After looking for some time, we find nothing, then a fellow calls to us that he has just seen 3 Ouzel by the chalk pit, so after a big climb up the steep hill we are soon sitting by the pit & within 10 minutes a female Ouzel flies into a bush not to far away from us, so well worth the hard climb to give us both a tick.
After an hour we see another female & a male bird come down from the trees at the top of the hill to show in the trees in front of us.
We hang around till they disappear from view & head back in the hope of seeing a Redstart down in the bushes back by the paddocks. Not to be as it starts to rain & we give up looking after just a little time & head home.
Just back home when we get a call from Brian do we want to go to look for the Lady Amherst's Pheasant at Lidlington Beds.
So back we go with Brian & park by the pub & cross the road & go into the graveyard & climb up until we reach the wooden steps where about 10 other birders had already gathered.
I'm not to sure why we spend so long just looking at a small gap up a hill in the hope we may see a head or maybe a tale flash by, still we are here now & that is what we do for a couple of hours all to no avail.
Still on the walk back down the track we all get a Redstart & a Willow Warbler plus back by the pub we see a House martin, so 3 year ticks makes it not to bad a trip after all.
A few Buzzard & 3 Red Kites also seen , not needed for a tick but always nice to see.Now we pay a quick visit to Eversholt lake to see the Osprey that has just arrived there.
We are onto it as soon as we get there, it is just across the lake sitting high up in a tree. I get a record shot of the bird & we get a good long view of the bird.

Just a record shot
