Black Redstart

Early this morning I had a Merlin chasing a Starling across Darts Farm in Topsham , I then went down to Exmouth & saw this superb male Black Redstart around the small yacht club on the mouth of the Exe Estuary .

Rose-Coloured Starling

There was late news yesterday of a 1st winter Rose-Coloured Starling seen near the churchyard in Exminster ! so this morning I went over to look for it & met up with Brian Heasman but for quite a while there was no sign of it at all but we did see a nice Firecrest , also seen was a female Bullfinch & half a dozen Fieldfare , but then there was the bird we had come for & it was sat on top of one of the trees in full view & just long enough for me to get this shot of it !!!!
