Black Redstart??

23rd. Jürgen Zapp has reported 2 from the Lamb Island hide at Threave NTS. Is it at all possible? One would be hard to believe but 2?? At Threave???

"I have looked through my D&G Bird Reports and have found three previous May and early June, records of Black Redstart dating back to 1991. There will probably be others too. They were from Caerlaverock in 1994, Mull of Galloway, 2006 and Port William, 2011.   Most records are from October to March backing up its status as a winter visitor in the region especially in Wigtownshire and western Stewartry. I had one in my garden in Glencaple in 1977 probably attracted to the numerous caterpillars eating my broccoli plants but that would have been a bit later in the summer. I think that they still breed in southern England so it isn't surprising that an occasional summer vagrant turns up here. Best wishes, Duncan (Irving)"
