Ring Ouzels

Dungeness - Mild, overcast, drizzle, NE 2 - We spent the morning wandering around the point where, given the weather conditions and time of year, it was no surprise that a few thrushes dropped in; chiefly Redwings, both grounded and over-flying, plus several Song Thrushes and five Ring Ouzels (one at the wigwams and a group of four in the Trapping Area). A scattering of Robins, Chiffchaffs, Goldcrests and Blackcaps were present in the bushes with a trickle of Skylarks, Meadow Pipits, Goldfinches, Siskins and Bramblings overhead. Also reported this morning: a calling Yellow-browed Warbler, a Woodcock and a Pied Flycatcher in the Trapping Area; a Dartford Warbler by the station;  several more Ring Ouzels at Long Pits; and 19 Crossbills over.
