Withens Head Farm

Black Redstart opposite the wind farm car park (probably a first winter male, as it was just starting to show some pale panels on the wing) just above the farm at 9.15 this morning - it stayed close to 2 Stonechats for just over an hour feeding along the walls and on the mole hills. It was last seen at 10.30 along the wall to the rear of the former Withens pub and still with the Stonechats.

Wheatear still there this morning from 9 am feeding mainly on the mole hills just above the farm. Later on this afternoon it was very elusive and flew off towards Slade before returning briefly then off back towards Slade again.

It was good to see Nick D. Niall and Bill there too this pm, and although we only had brief views of the Wheatear and the Stonechats, the Black Redstart was not re-located.
Some photos of the black red to follow but unable to get any decent shots of the Wheatear.
