Hi Martin, where do you park and how do you get to the best aera for the Ring Ouzels please?
Bit of a walk David.
Park in the car park near The Flouch (doing down to Langsett.
Cross over the main road and carry on to the four way split in the path. Turn left towards Brookhouse Bridge (Langsett Res),
Before arriving at the bridge there is a path to the right Take this and follow the river c2 km to where it splits(Mickleden Beck on your left and Little Don on your right. Follow the right hand river for a further 1.5 kms and you will see an old farmstead on yor right. Most of the Ring Ouzels (6 today) are in the short grass field to the right (looking up). There are also dozens of rabbits (a few of which are melanistic).
Thanks Martin,that's great information!
Looking forward to seeing them.
