Rock Thrush...
After waiting nearly a fortnight, Dave Helliar and myself finally succumbed and made the journey across the Severn and into Wales today to go and see the Rock Thrush, which has been in residence around the disused quarries at Pwll-Du in Gwent since the 12th October.
The wind was howling from the North-West and it felt like it was freezing but that didn't stop the Rock Thrush from showing extremely well (could be something to do with the meal worms being scattered by the photographers!). I'm just glad I was kitted out for the cold! After our initial views it flew up to the quarry face to shelter but returned to the same spot by a pile of rocks on the ground 5 minutes later.

Still drawing a crowd after two weeks.
Despite the overcast skies, the P900 did a fairly good job of getting pics and a short video too:

The views from the quarry site were pretty cool too!
