I spent all day today in Newstead Village at a Sherwood Habitats Forum event; fortuitously, this coincided with the discovery by Paul Naylor of a smart male Black Redstart in the Northfield Construction compound, next to Annesley Pit Top. As this was just 2 minutes walk away, I snuck out during the afternoon tea brake to go see it, making use of the emergency binoculars I keep in my car... hence the awful digi-binned shot.

This is actually the second I've seen in Notts this year (having never seen one in the county before), after one I found on a neighbours roof in Newark earlier in the year. It also appears to be the seventh in Notts in 2014, which is a pretty good total.
