A late Ring Ouzel was found and photographed by Adam Moan near Tindale Tarn on Sunday. This is the latest ever record for the reserve, although we have had November records of this summer visitor before. The bird in the photo was with Fieldfares, there are thousands on the reserve at the moment, mainly feeding on hawthorn berries. There are also Redwings in some of the flocks and a few Lesser Redpolls. Good numbers of Snipe have been seen and on Tindale Tarn there are slightly higher numbers of Tufted Duck and Pochard and a few Goldeneye are there too. The occasional Whooper Swans have been dropping in and also the occasional flock of Pink-footed Geese flying over.
