Old Guy Rd: Whinchat, Wheatear and a cracking Black Redstart on the cricket pitch. Sadly the bird was seen only for a minute and when DW arrived it failed to reemerge from the blue cover sheets it had dived under.
Also c240 Starling including one with white outer tail feathers.
I couldn't concentrate on anything else for around 25 mins so Soil Hill was passage only - Kestrel, couple Swallow.
My mind returned at Ogden Res: 4 Teal, 3 Cormorant, Little Grebe and the Gulls. The light rain seemed to walk up the Tits and Chaffinches, also a Nuthatch.
There were plenty of Swallow and a Chiffchaff sang briefly.
The stretch along the golf course and Hunter Hill is not worth a mention. Mixenden Res held the Goldeneye, 1 Tufted Duck, 2 Moorhen ditto Grey Wagtail.
Hope its not another 11 years before my next local Black Redstart!
