Ring Ouzel

Brilliant name, brilliant bird.  There's been a fair few Rouzels in the Ely10 this weekend with 5 found before I added a sixth following a lazy car bound hunt when the children conveniently fell asleep in the back of the car and gave me a precious hour to pootle about.  I was chuffed to bits when this beauty popped out from the brambles in the very likely looking paddock at Pymoor bridge.  I'm awaiting a new camera so had to use the phone instead to get a grab shot, which I feel has a charm and captures the bird well as it hopped about beneath the tangled brambles and disappeared for some spells within the thorny protection.  Hopefully more to come....
