On 8 November I posted about the return of a male Black redstart to a location this species has, in recent years, favoured for over-wintering in Cardiff Bay. I’m pleased to report that a female has now been sighted in the same area – I spotted her hopping around the top of the BBC building last Tuesday. A female was also spotted on waste ground a couple of blocks away later in the day, which may be a third bird or it may be the same female exploring the area. We will have to wait for more sightings and photographs to be sure but it is wonderful to have these little characters back with us again.
