Black Redstart

Although my visits to Aber are now much rarer since my Mother died last year, I would like to say how much I still enjoy keeping up with Ceredigion Bird Sightings (and the banter). My first "coup" as a fledgling birdwatcher in the sixties was identifying a winter Black Redstart on the Prom as I walked home from Church with the family. I saw it several times that winter but never again. Interestingly it was at the North end of town near the thankfully-rescued Victorian shelter- it once disappeared briefly into the little cavern to the right of the Queens hotel steps (the cavern-one of two I think- still there when I last checked) All the sightings over the last few years seem to have been near the old college so I was just wondering if you had ever come across any from "my" location?
