Worcester Cathedral Black Redstart on passing visit






A home game for my eldest lad on Saturday in Worcester gave me the opportunity to make a flying visit to Worcester Cathedral to see the newly arrived immature Black Redstart.

I quickly located the bird on the south east corner flitting around the apex feeding on what insects were available. When we moved round the south side we did get a couple more views before it looked like the bird went into one of the spires. Sadly the bird was not see again after this and I noted the time was 2.50pm. Perhaps being such a dull and dark day the bird went to roost early.

A brief but good encounter all the same before we headed across to the University for the late afternoon match.
