Ring Ouzel: Sevenoaks Wildlife Reserve

Two male Ring Ouzels have been present in the horse paddocks by the entrance track of Sevenoaks Wildlife Reserve since Friday the 12th. This morning we made the forty-mile trip hoping they hadn't finally decided to move North overnight. One birder was already present as we pulled up along the entrance track shortly before 7am but he had not seen the Ring Ouzels. However after several scans of the paddocks, one of the Ring Ouzels appeared along the fence line. Soon it was joined by the second bird. 



 The reserve itself was very quiet, but it was an enjoyable walk along the various tracks.

Bough Beech is only six miles away, but water levels were very high and very few birds were present.
