Local birding: Ring Ouzel - Higher Wenshead Farm, Darwen - 3rd April 2008.

This cracking male Ring Ouzel was presumably one of three birds reported early morning. Bill Berry saw two male Ouzels in the area at 11:15, and the bird in the image above was the only one I could find 12:30-13:20, before I had to cut and run for a dental appointment. Great to see Ring Ouzel so local.
