I got up early to be on Dartmoor for sunrise and my third attempt at seeing Ring Ouzel. My reward was five of them. At last! Great views, rubbish video.

One day I want to see a #RingOuzel... there is a sign about their nests at #StanageEdge... but we've never seen one... I got all excitable when we were there the other day... only to realise that I was staring at a dog poo bag... #SpringWatch

Here are some snaps of the Ring Ouzel at Vitifer Mine, Dartmoor

I had brilliant views of seven or so male and female Ring Ouzel from the bottom of the valley but they were a little distant to video. As I was walking back to the car, I came across a small group of them on the path. Unfortunately, the dandy looking males all flew.
