Heffalumps and Wouzels

I managed a couple of hours out with the scope at the weekend.
I thought I would check out sammy's Point which usually produces something of interest at this time of year.I had a walk along the riverbank without much success (not even a wheatear)then as I went back to the car I spotted what I thought was a rather pale looking blackbird, sure enough it was this ring ouzel and whilst it was a little skittish, I was pleased with these pics.
I then went up to Tophill Low and managed some shots of the reported Jack Snipe.
It was showing very well but kept its distance, this shot was about the best of it.
