21st August Black Redstart

Roils Head produced the usual Long-tailed Tit flock with several Willow Warblers mixed in, 10 Pied Wagtails and lots of grounded Meadow Pipits after the rain. Then recieved a call from DJS saying he had just had a Cuckoo at Cold Edge, half an hour later arrived with SJ and Dishfish to find Dave still there but no sign of the Cuckoo. I decided to check the old decaying building in the hope of finding a Black Redstart, and low and behold whats the first bird I see{a Black Redstart}. All got reasonable but brief views of the bird and Sean managed some pictures, hopefully to follow. On the way back to Wainstalls half way down the road the Cuckoo flew across directly in front of us and directly behind the departing Dishfish.
