Spring Already! - 8.2.20

Ring Ouzel

I popped over to drop some money off to George Moreton at his new house and to have a quick nose round and on the way I flushed up 2 Yellowhammer from the roadside into the hedges along the lane which were an unexpected year tick.

After I headed over to Pitstone Hill where quite quickly I connected with the male Ring Ouzel that had over wintered. It's not a species I see every year but usually in a year I do see them I see them more than once. This one was my 26th in the UK.

2002 - 2
2004 - 3
2011 - 2
2014 - 3
2016 - 5
2018 - 2

So I wonder if this will be a multiple year? Time will tell!
