A (black &) Red Letter Day for DJS with his sighting of a Black Redstart near the Swalesmoor ski slope this lovely sunny morning - a great bird to find Dave.
I was at B&Q when I decided to go home via Ploughcroft Lane and try and beat my abysmal twitching record of late.
Black Redstart:
As I parked the car near the cottage a bird flitted onto a nearby wall - I could not believe my luck - the Black Redstart.
The difficult bit was getting a photo as It was extremely active, disappearing and the reappearing.
The bird seemed to be finding plenty of food as it flitted about between walls , house roof and bushes.
I did get a few half decent snaps of it though.
The resident Helicopter decided to take off, not long after, and I thought that would be the end of the sightings, but it did reappear.
After this excitement I spent most of the day, enjoying the sunshine, in the garden but I did get out for an hour or so late afternoon.
During my gardening a Buzzard flew over the house.
Local:
2 Buzzard.
1 Little Owl.
2 Green Woodpeckers (heard) a 3rd one seen.
Bullfinch,
2 Stock Doves.
2 Wabbits, a Bee and a Ladybird.
