Ouzelling about on Bredon Hill

With the weather set fair and very little wind about, the wife and I headed up Bredon Hill for our Sunday walk. We hadn't been up there for a long time and the route we took was different from our previous visit. 

In the early stages we came across plenty of Roe Deer bounding along whilst the birding highlight was a Marsh Tit that looked to be on family duties. We heard our first Redstart about half way up but didn't get a sighting - there was no need to worry as ten minutes later we had four different Redstarts in view at the same time. The camera was being troublesome so photo were limited.  The views were magfiicant and I could have quite easily sat there all day. 

After re-uniting the baby lamb (shown above) with its mother we headed across the escapement to look for Ring Ouzels. Nothing and all quiet to start with, then we saw a male fly towards us and then back across to some bushes. Whilst watching the Ouzels (two seen in total) we came across top Worcestershire birder Rob Prudden & his wife who were enjoying Bredon at it's finest. 

Great birds, top company and tired legs……………just lacked a good coffee.
