Finally caught up with the Black Redstart today, down at Slade rather than the farm close to the windfarm car park. 15 Twite at the seed at Fly Flatts with several unringed birds present, one bird was noted to have just a metal ring and no colour rings, could this be from outside our area?
Covered Walshaw Dean this morning but with little to show for it apart from several Kestrels, a Sparrowhawk and a calling Raven. Quite few butterflies about though including Red Admiral, Peacock and Small Torts.

The Twite were there this afternoon - I counted 16 in the flock. Didn't get the Black Redstart!
Well done with the Black red eventually Nick - and the Twite numbers inspired us to get up there today and were well rewarded.
We only had a brief look for the Black Red this afternoon but it was blowing a gale and starting to rain so poor conditions.
