A cracking male Black Redstart was enjoying the abundant insect prey in a sunny corner of Cullercoats Bay today, along with a male Stonechat, a new site for this species for me, two Grey Wagtails, two Rock Pipits and seven Pied Wagtails. This is the second Black Redstart here recently, with a female/immature bird present two weeks ago also.
