No sign of an Ouzey today - I tried a couple of visits in the morning, one in the afternoon.
Plenty on Blackbirds, Magpies & House Sparrows. Blackcap & Willow Warbler singing. Also Chaffinch, Goldcrest, Mistle Thrush and 2 Pied Wagtail on one of the bowling greens. Cormorants kept flying over as well, counted 4 - two singles and a duo. Nice to see Blue & Great Tits taking an interest in the nest boxes.

Ring Ouzel - in trees by the 5-aside court, approx 2:45pm. I was alerted by an alarm call I didn't recognise, then the bird flew to a stand of trees fringing a row of houses and I lost sight of it. I got the impression it had dropped down into a garden.
I went home, got my camera and went back but couldn't reacquire the bird.
