Ring Ouzels at Liddington

6 April - An early morning visit to Liddington Hill (1) in cold, clear conditions was productive with good views of 3-4 Ring Ouzels, including at least 2 males (JM record shots, 2,3). The birds were flighty but seen perched several times. Also there, good numbers of singing Corn Buntings (5,6) and Yellowhammers (7), and a flyover Raven (4). Later, a brief stop at Waterhay was successful, giving the first 2 singing Sedge Warblers of the year, 1 seen well, as well as 5+ singing Reed Buntings(8).
