On Tuesday I spent nearly 2 hours waiting for the Topsham Black Redstart to put in an appearance, which it didn't. This afternoon Simon & I went for a wander down to the beach at Sandy Bay. As we stepped onto the beach from the concrete slipway, a bird flew off from the rocks.....a Black Redstart! Matt Knott reported its presence a while back on his blog (http://gobirdingexmouth.blogspot.co.uk) but I'd failed to find it. As this bird's on my 'patch' it's even better than finding the Topsham Black Redstart!

Nice one for the patch list and nice pics too!
