ring ouzel!!!!!!!
i just think i saw 2 of them on the pilons above my house. they were big thrushes but couldnt get those bins out in time to have a good look. they flew like thrushes and had a call like a laser gun, which i know is an element in a ring ouzels call. do you think it could be????
Its possible Dishfish, Brian Sumner did have one at Fly Flatts today but bear in mind Mistle Thrush which is a big thrush with a very rattly call (not quite sure what a laser gun sounds like!)
i looked at feilfare and mistle thrush call but neither seem to have the "laser gun" sound that i haerd. but i read that ring ouzels are smaller than blackbirds and this was alot bigger so am stumped
Copies are available at £6.00 each from the GO local store at Woodlesford, Pellon price . Hopefully they will also be available at the Fox and Goose Hebden Bridge ,
