Red-spotted Bluethroat at Hartlepool Headland

A quick check of my email before I came away from work on Thursday revealed a Bluethroat had been located on the Headland in the afternoon.  It was found by Chris Brown and was a cracking adult male.  It scurried and flitted about the plants and shrubs and made the odd excursion to the gardens of 15-17 Cliff Terrace and apparently flew to Icky Alley earlier in the afternoon. A drizzly evening with a bit of a sea fret, but brightened up by this little beauty!

Fingers crossed for some more Spring crackers!
