I was very keen to see the Ring Ouzels at Witcham again if I could so I was out at first light checking some likely spots on the way to no avail. The sun had just pushed past the horizon when the first upland thrush hopped out into the paddock near the top of Hive Lane. After a while a second bird joined it but they were quite flighty and kept returning to the bramble cover. While 2 males preened in the top of the tangle a 3rd was out in the paddock but I wasn't able to capture an image of them all together, still using my phone as the new Lumix is still to arrive..........
