As was the way on this day, nothing sat up nicely without any branches in front of it.
Let me know when that tide's coming in won't you

Common Redstart
While I was trawling the trails in the Goyt Valley looking for migrants it appeared that all the action was happening just a few feet from where I had parked the car. When we returned to the car, with only Pied Flycatcher of any real note on our list, I spotted a Common Redstart flitting around the low trees. It was one of my target birds and I was delighted to find it. Another started singing not far away, and I'm not sure if I saw a second one, or if it was this same bird playing tricks on me. Either way it was great to be watching this species again. It's a big part of my year to find these birds. I love them!

ReplyDeleteHello, lovely colorful bird. Great photos. Thank you so much for linking up and sharing your post. Happy Saturday, enjoy your day and weekend.
ReplyDeleteYour common redstart is lovely! A nice sighting!
ReplyDeleteWhat a pretty little bird! And great photos. Always fun to spot a bird when you're just about done with an outing. Hope you have a great weekend!
ReplyDeleteIt is a beautiful bird.
ReplyDeleteFor sharing this special post with us birders this week at I'd Rather B Birdin', I thank you!
ReplyDeleteHe's the sweetest bird and not common at all. I know, I know -- but I've only seen one one time in my whole life and I (irrationally) hate it when any bird is called 'common'. Lovely pictures and the branches really don't distract -- they make it seem as if I were there watching.
ReplyDeleteHe's very cute - love your photos.
ReplyDeleteThey resemble our robins.
