Birding activity over the past few days has included me spending an hour per day looking for the Blackburn Cathedral Black Redstart, with no luck. With today being a Sunday, I spent a couple of hours on site, inc. gazing through the fencing at the building site on the opposite side of Church Street, a classic place for it to be lurking, but no joy, although there is no way I could say it wasn't present.
No sign of any Town Centre Ravens during the time spent looking for the Black Red, or at the Gasometer on Wensley Rd, but a Peregrine flew over the latter site, which has previous as a perch for this species.
