Ring Ouzel, 1 cy female. Ringtrost, 1K F.

In Ring Ouzel, look for 2 generations of great coverts to identify a 1 cy bird. In this one, the 4 outer greater coverts are juvenile, notably shorter than the inner.

We have seen a number of the caddisfly Halesus digitatus in the Robinson-traps this week, a species previously not identified from Revtangen BO.
