Sunday afternoon i received a text saying there was a Black Redstart at the Point of Ayre Lighthouse, I shot up there and took some shots and watched this bird for some 3 hours it was very flighty moving from roof tops to Garden and then back to wall tops.I noticed it kept going back to one place every 20 minutes or so, as it was getting dark I packed up and went home. Monday morning I got up there for 08:30 placed the spring trap where i thought it would go and within 10 Min's it was ringed and on its way.

I got back to my car and watched the traps, 2 minutes later a bird flew towards one of them and sat on top of it. Another Black Redstart and no ring on it so it couldn't be the one from the Point of Ayre, which is only 7 miles away up the coast.
