Mandarin in sunshine

Nice views of the Mandarin on the river at Rowsley yesterday. It makes a big difference seeing them in sunshine as opposed to the overcast conditions recently.
Had distant views of the Dusky Thrush this morning at Beeley. It appears to have settled in to a line of hawthorns with a large ash tree on the right hand side about half way down Pigs Lane viewed from the metal gate just beyond the small stone barn. It's either in the hawthorns, when it is generally not visible, or hopping around on the ground nearby.
