A scope is a big help !

Another cracking bird for Halifax.
Nice one Dave.
John
Not an easy bird to find at that distance Dave, well spotted.
A single Wheatear appeared briefly about an hour after you had gone landing on the nearest pile of stones but all went quiet again as more rain poured down.
And there was I thinking you were the Black Redstart specialist John !
Need a dry calm day Bri then we might get another chance for it...with a bit of luck. Still nice to be getting Wheatears as well.
A good find Dave.
A handsome bird.
