Black Redstarts at Ness Point

On Sunday 16th September, It was great to see 4 Black Redstarts in the usual place at Ness Point mid morning, in the usual place at Ness Point this morning, I could hear the adult male singing as I arrived and there was a female bird just the other side of the fence. The male bird was seen around the tractor, what appeared to be 2 immature birds plus an immature male bird not as strikingly marked as the other male. Considering the plumage there could well have been 5 birds present? The 2 immature birds spent a lot of time by the northern fence area. I managed a few pictures but the arrival of the Lowestoft Bird Club chairman and his ringing gear, meant I decided to leave.
