With birdlife seemingly having entered that summertime lull, it was a big surprise to find a Black Redstart at East Runton today, presumably a very late migrant, rather than a summering bird, maybe having been brought in by the fairly stiff north-easterlies of yesterday. It showed very well in the clifftop paddock, and posed well for photos too.
Shortly after came the second good sighting of the day when a Hobby was seen briefly over Cromer sewage works, my first of the year, and with it being the most obvious bird that had so far eluded me this spring, it was nice to catch up with one. The final notable record of the day was a Red Admiral, only the second one I've seen on the patch this year, basking on the path down into East Runton village.
