Black redstart - an unusual sighting on winter moorland

05. January 2023 - Wildlife

Show larger version for: Black redstart on the ground

An unexpected sighting.

An unusual bird to see in the UK, and particularly unusual to see it on moorland in December/January when they are usually found (if at all) on the coast.
