Black Redstart

After frustratingly and fleetingly glimpsed what I thought felt like a Black Redstart yesterday on farm buildings at Everton Heath, this one this morning at Portobello Farm, Sutton, was a little more obliging, (photo courtesy of SCB here):

Glad others saw it, as usually my finds are in the arse-end-of-nowhere!

Black Redstart

After a couple of weeks out of the game through illness, a local quarry near Potton (with no water) came up with the goods again for me this morning with an immaculate and very showy male Black Redstart, flitting around on a midden that the local farmer has very obligingly just put there. Not the Ring Ouzel I was hoping for, but there is plenty of time left for dross like that. ;-)
