Classic Black Redstart - on a construction site. One of 3 enjoying Waterbeach Barracks housing development today. Miraculously, I saw one immediately! A welcome change of form from my usual Restart dipping 😅 @cambsbirdclub.bsky.social #ukbirding

Last week, I took a mini-vacation to visit Cambridge, England, and walk a few #SlowWays public footpath routes. The 7-mile journey between Waterbeach and Cambridge followed the River Cam and made for a perfect Saturday morning adventure. As an added bonus, it was super easy to get to by train!

After a very cold night in parts of the country, a reminder of a hoar frost in January.
Originally a 13th Century tower, but rebuilt in 1821 after the tower & spire had collapsed.

I don't think I've ever been so relieved to see a bird! 😂 Numerous unsuccessful visits to Waterbeach Barracks but today I finally managed to see the Black Redstart! Quietly perched up on a brick wall, unaware of the torment it had inflicted 🤣 @cambsbirdclub.bsky.social #ukbirding

Cambridgeshire CC still has 11 years to go on a £36m-per-year PFI contract linked to Thalia Waste Management's site near Waterbeach, which was signed in 2008 to process black bin non recyclable waste. But regulations have since changed & the site is no longer meeting those regs, so not operating

Camcycle worked with Waterbeach Cycling Campaign to ensure the developing Waterbeach New Town was designed to make walking and cycling the obvious choice for short journeys.
This included replacing a proposed main road past the school with an active travel path, improving safety and air quality.
