The black redstart is a persistent little devil. When did you first spot it there Dave?

Hi Jeff - 25th August at this site was my first sighting although Nick D found one on the 21st August at the ruined farm just down from Withens Head at Moorlands Farm - we think it's probably the same bird (?) so it's nearly a month now to our knowledge!
