We meet up with Nick after about an hour of looking & he tells us where abouts he had seen it but we dipped again, still nice to have a chat with Nick.
So this morning London Wicki tells us that Neville had seen one over KG reservoir.
We rush over & we walk clock wise around the first basin an spend a couple of hours looking to no avail. Jimmy walks the second basin on his own & meets a fellow who had been watching the Ouzel over the fields at the back of the basin, as luck would have it a work van pulls up right where the bird was & off it goes , so Jimmy missed it again. while I waited for Jimmy to come back I saw at least 8 Wheatear & got a few photos of them.
We meet up with Neville & he tells us that we should drive to the end of the Reservoir & scan the fields from there as that was where he had seen the bird earlier. On the walk back to the car we get a tick when we get a Willow Warbler.
It's only 10 minutes away but we can't get down the road when we arrive & it has started to rain a bit heavy so we decide to give up & go home.
Half way home we get a call from Neville to say he was looking at the bird & that we should turn round & head back & that he would meet us. So 25 minutes later we are standing on a bridge & looking at the Ring Ouzel really glad to get that one out of the way it was starting to get annoying.
So a big thank you to Neville for his help & also for sending me a few photos of the bird as we never got close enough to get any for our self.
