Black Redstart again today at 11 am and again 3 pm on the farm ruin - very elusive and disappears for long periods for some reason! Also Whinchat there and Willow Warbler.
2 Tufted and 3 Snipe at Cold Edge and Whimbrel through >SE at 09.50. 6 Twite heading up towards Fly Flats and well over 100 Linnets on the bare landfill site (on the right on the way up).
Also 1 Redshank at Fly Flats and a lot of Meadow Pipits going through today.

nice pics dave, is it me or does it look like a juv?
The bird is reluctant to show itself for more than a few seconds - then half hour can pass before it shows again I did wonder if it goes to feed IN the building??? so its difficult to get a photo. Also being challenged by a Robin (just like the one at Soil Hill!) I guess it's a first summer male but I have not seen that many Black Reds'- can anyone help?
to me it looks 'scruffy' round the nape and dullish (though not seen the bird) as if it is moulting out of juv plumage.i may be wrong,i usually am
