Thrush Magic at Gunton Heath

On Sunday 15th October, a tweet from James W in the afternoon, had me driving over and walking past the cleared area by a newly installed fence I joined James W peering into a Rowan. a young Blackbird and Robin seen but no sign of the Ouzel. However walking along to the clifftop, just past some gorse bushes a bare branched tree briefly hosted the excellent female Ring Ouzel that flew right. The Ring Ouzel was calling a harsh chak and even a brief bubbling call, was then seen against the light feeding near the top on Rowan berries for a couple of minutes before flying south west towards Corton Road. A few small groups of Redwings seen calling and flying over, including a group of 6 Redwing. Meanwhile a Fieldfare flew in off the sea chackling and perched in another Rowan tree in the middle of the heath.
