Weir Wood Reservoir, Sussex
Incredibly the ring ouzel stayed a fourth day at Weir Wood Reservoir - a testimony to the very poor weather lately.
- After a couple of early reports on WhatsApp, Martin and I went down late morning to have a look. We joined another 3-4 birders but could not locate the bird.
- Bob S, one of our working party, had posted this super image of the bird in the trees in the horse paddock area. What I would give to get a similar one!
At 3.45 pm another positive report came through so we tried again. This time luck was on our side.
- After quite a long search, Martin spotted the bird high in the tall birch tree near the water treatment building beside the horse paddock.
SUCCESS!
- While we were searching for the ring ouzel, Jonathan, who we had joined, pointed out a solitary swallow flying over the dam wall - our first of the year.
