Ring Ouzel near Welshpool

 

Many thanks to Paula Davis, who writes, "My Ring Ouzel popped back to say hello today for the first time since 2019. I did manage pictures but they're through the kitchen window and not brilliant, sorry! Will keep an eye out for him but he was only here about five minutes at 2.05pm and I've not seen sign of him since." 
 
Looking back to the 2019 county bird report, I see Paula's photo from 4 April. Is it the same bird, three years and five days later!? 
You can compare the two photos: http://www.mbog.co.uk/downloads/montbirds2019.pdf

Paula, that is an amazing garden bird to have twice! 

PS In other news, first Redstart arrived yesterday in the hills above Dolforwyn. Thanks Paul.
