Cleeve Hill early morning.......

April 5 - Early morning at Cleeve Hill, and, after a search, good but fairly brief views of a male Ring Ouzel feeding on the slopes at the northern end. Always elusive, and a challenge to see and watch undisturbed. 2 Swallows flew N, and Meadow Pipits, Linnets, Skylarks and Yellowhammers also logged. En route home, a brief circuit at Waterhay produced 3 singing Willow Warblers and a singing Blackcap, as well as 20+ Sand Martins. A beautiful spring morning.
