14:30: Sharpness Docks, Severn Estuary, Gloucestershire (51.719788, -2.478289)
A first-winter male black redstart was eventually located at this traditional industrial site, where birds have spent the winter since I started birding the area seriously in 2003. Black redstarts have never been proven to breed in Gloucestershire, although many breeding sites are inaccessible due to security reasons, being industrial in nature. My article on Black Redstarts, written for Birdwatching, can be found on the Writing page.
