It's very satisfying to have one of those moments when your mental soundtrack goes, "Hmmm... nice little beach out of the easterly wind here. Sunny. Lots of insects too. This would be a perfect spot for a Black Redstart to be feeding... Oh, there's one!"
Of course after enjoying this lovely bird for a while I thought I'd continue the run of good luck and as I rounded the corner of the next little beach, my mental sound track was saying, "Hmmm... lovely and sheltered here. Sun still shining. Lots of insects too. This beach would be perfect for a Pied Wheatear..."
Needless to say, no Pied Wheatear appeared, so that put an end to that.
