Ring Ouzel 1 female in the horse paddocks at Knowlys Rd. It was just opposite the children's play area. located at 12:30 by Pete Crooks.
I was busy today (MD), and so had been Alan Physick. Coincidentally it was almost 17:00 before we both turned up to try and relocate. Alan spotted it first, still in line with the play area, but it kept disappearing below dips and behind bushes. It eventually showed well enough for me to manage this clip. Sorry about the background noise, but we were on the busy track and the play area was full.
