Despite still being confined to minor amounts of walking I FINALLY got to experience the past 2 days first hand.
After being informed of a fantastic male Ring Ouzel on the Choseley road from Titchwell (Thanks Pete.H!) I headed there after work.
Sadly no Ring Ouzel but the garden of the last house on the left had HUNDREDS of Thrushes in. Redwings no more than 10 feet from the car in the fading light.
The best was yet to come as the next field entrance on the right revealed the fields there to be COVERED in Thrushes, as were the surrounding hedgerows and trees.
The nicest surprise of them all was two Brambling washing in a puddle no more than 15 feet from the car.
Almost beaten by the startled expressions of Fieldfare appearing from behind hedges to find a big grey car sitting there.
Great to finally see some decent evidence of migration and hopefully more to come
