We only have to wait a short time before the Ouzel flies down off the bushes from behind us & lands on the grass right in front of us.
We get to spend a good hour watching the bird just walking about not troubled by us being there, it helped with only one other fellow watching with us.
A walk around the wetlands we get to see a few Brambling plus ten or so White Wagtails but never saw a single Yellow Wag. We needed that for a year tick.
A few Egyptian Geese walk about on the paths as we walk around but no other year ticks are seen.
The wetlands have had a few good birds over the last few weeks with the long staying Little Bunting, Bluethroat plus a Hoopoe for a day & now the Ouzel, Looking forward to coming back here.
On the way home we pop into the KGV Reservoir & see our first Swallow of the year & then we find 6 or so Arctic Terns for another tick.
A single Little Gull flies towards us but it's not needed for a tick but still nice to see.
