For those that know me and are quite keen on this one, here's a quick note. Ring Ouzel(s) still present (apparently Two again this morning) in the area behind Kings Lock Cottage. I checked the area twice to no avail but then found a very elusive Male feeding along the edge of the Biam in the rough grass on the west side of the river. Best viewed from the old Packhorse Bridge looking out towards ASDA as Its too obscured from the canal towpath, as of 13.30hrs today anyway. I know some of you would really like to see one so would suggest that you first check from Packhorse very carefully, the grass is longer than you think, and the bird often disappears from view before following the towpath past Kings Lock to the end of the hedgerow and looking back. In flight, look for the striking contrast between the silvery wings and deep black body as the bird(s) fly back to the blackthorn, the white crescent isn't always easy to see in flight - Good Luck! - with poor weather for the next couple of days, they should stay around.
Other than that, No sign of the Little Ringed Plovers at either site nor White Wagtails or Wheatear.
Added after I looked at John's Drunkbirders blog - Correction: LRP still at Grove Park, maybe I should have got out of the car!

Here's some Football photos I have taken over the last few years.
