Up early this morning & off to Berry Head in South Devon in hope of seeing the reported Red Flanked Bluetail that was seen yesterday .
I arrived at about 6.50am & a call went up around 7.10 am that the bird had been seen , so a crowd of us went into the wood where the bird was seen but after searching for it for about over three & a half hours there was no sign of it .
So off I went for a walk down to the quarry where I saw a 2 ROCK PIPIT , an Adult PEREGRINE FALCON & a RING OUZEL , I then walked back up the path from the quarry & saw an Adult & a Juvenile PEREGRINE FALCON chasing another RING OUZEL .
The next stop was in the North Fort where a cup of hot chocolate went down well & another RING OUZEL was seen .
Then there was news that the RED-FLANKED BLUETAIL had been found again in the wood by the Berry Head hotel ! so off I shot down to there & was lucky enough to get two views of the cracking 1st year bird .
