After being away from home for a week I returned, looked out of the window and was greeted to a flash of black and white ... A small bird started catching flies around the windows and amazingly it was a male Black Redstart!
I rarely see this species in North Norfolk let alone in the garden
I managed to get a record shot as it stopped in a bush just in front of the sitting room window. Not a digi phone/bins shot .. just hand held phone to show how close it was.
My 80th species in the (new) house/garden, and one I was not expecting at all
Just goes to show - you can find unusual birds anywhere .. even when at home in the sitting room!!
