Lockdown Surprises


  Lockdown garden watch  has produced 3 surprises
  the last couple of days but sadly no pics, today had
  a cracking Yellowhammer singing in a neighbours
  garden but flew off as I was about to focus, a Ring
  Ouzel in the back field a first for around here and a
  black bird with a bright red beak a wee bit larger than
  a Blackbird, lots of Greenfinch around at the moment
  and a distant flock of what looked like Golden Plover.

Nice pictures Dave, shame you missed one of the Y/H. Good to see a few Greenfinch about.

That Dunnock shots a beauty.

Cheers Dave, yeah gutted I missed out on the YH only by seconds as well.

I'm surprised nobody has queried your comment about:

"a black bird with a bright red beak a wee bit larger than a Blackbird".

Any thoughts? Any chance of a Chough, or has that been ruled that out for some reason?
