Having spotted this 'Crack' Redstart on Monday, I returned to Seafield Gardens today armed with telescope and phone. I even saw a second bird, a first-winter on nearby rooftops, but the star of the show was undoubtedly this stunning male. Hope the phonescoped shots are OK; I couldn't be arsed to take the DSLR on the bus as well. (Yes, I've given up on the car).
Goldcrests and Chiffchaffs were also present, and when I pointed my scope at the sea I saw 2 distant
Red-throated Divers powering West toward Beer Head, occasionally lifting their heads up to make sure they didn't crash into it. Then it was heads down and wings going full-pelt. A few minutes later, a solo RTD went past much closer; flying right by the rafts of Wigeon. Sadly, the Great Whites have not been reported today. Anyone see which way they went?!
