Not much birding, but black redstart and tawny owl

With GCSEs coming up, birding hasn't been my priority. I did however have a great surprise when I found a stunning male black redstart in Sherborne. It landed in a tree right in front of me, in which it stayed for several minutes. Although I have seen several of them before, finding this species in Sherborne was certainly unexpected.

Returning home after dark, I was treated to a tawny owl which took flight from a roadside signpost. Two very nice birds to liven up what has been an extremely dull month!
