Eastern Black Redstart, Sheringham

Staying on the coast in East Norfolk for a few days and dropped in to see the long staying first winter male Eastern Black Redstart a couple of times. The second day it was feeding around disturbed ground in the Esplanade Gardens and approached really close at times.

Wonder if this distinctive form would be split from Black Redstart.

I also made the pilgrimage to the Black-winged Kite. A long walk in to view a very distant perched bird. Still, only the 3rd or 4th for the UK and a country tick. 

A good supporting cast around, including a small flock of the increasingly scarce Berwick's Swan, a couple each of Tundra Bean and Eurasian White-fronted Geese, and this first winter Iceland Gull. Another species that had become much scarcer in recent years.
