A late afternoon trip over our local reservoir as we have heard of a Ring Ouzel over there.
It's only a short trip but the 20 miles per hour signs slows us down.
As soon as we arrive we find a few first-of-the-year Wheatears, then another year tick when 2 Sand Martins fly along the water then back again over our heads.
We meet up with a couple of birders that Brian knew and after a talk, we head off in different directions in the hope of finding the Ouzel.
About 20 minutes later we heard a loud shout that told us that the other two fellows had found the bird.
We shoot off back toward the yacht club and meet up with them and the Ring Ouzel is there
just by the fence, so another good year tick for all of us.
One of the other fellows tells us he needed the Ouzel for a lifer so nice to share that with him.
