Brecon Beacons Ring Ouzels.
08th March 2015
I was contacted recently by an author who is writing a book on Ring Ouzels and he has asked if he may use several of my Ring Ouzel images in his publication. It's great to have more images published but more importantly to see these lovely birds, that are in serious decline in their range, getting some exposure.
This year several birds appear to have over-wintered in the UK which is very unusual indeed. Thankfully they have probably made it because of the very mild winter we have experienced. I think back to those stupid tabloid newspapers who were predicting the coldest winter in a hundred years before last Xmas. They really are prepared to print any sensationalistic garbage as long as they sell their odius rags.
However, spring is on its way and the Ouzels will soon be arriving in the Brecon Beacons fresh from their wintering grounds in the Atlas mountains of Morocco. I sincerely hope they can recover their numbers, they are such lovely birds.
