Redstart

Whilst I was looking for my Spotted Flycatchers, I was lucky to find quite a few Common Redstarts, and one particular male was very busy collecting food for it's young in the nest. It was a lovely warm morning and the sun was also just in the right place as he landed in front of me on a garden gate. What an absolutely stunning bird this is, and they are only 10 miles away from my doorstep.

  9. Nice photos! Birds aren’t always that cooperative. You must be a patient photographer.
