Ring Ouzels (thrushes)

Vis mig thrushes: first Redwing yesterday; first fieldfare over this morning, plus several Ring ouzels on Ventnor Downs and 18+ reported on WHD. 
Plenty of variety over including 54 Redpolls and another Hobby (1cy) south yesterday. 

 
One of today's Ring Ouzels (above) - comparable with March's noc bird (below):
Record shot of ROs (at least four in this tree)
Clouded Yellow with Wall Brown - never really settled.
