Well, these beauties have been back here for the last couple of months, and in fact they are now feeding their fledged young (look out for some more photos of these soon). Always a highlight off my year when the Pied Flycatchers and Redstarts return. I spend quite a lot of time waiting and watching. I know where they should be and where they like, so it's best just to sit, blend in and let them come to you when they know you are no threat. The males do all the singing and the females seem to work much harder at finding nesting material.

It’s wonderful how patient observation lets you witness such delicate moments in nature; the vibrant songs of the male Pied Flycatcher and the tireless efforts of the females make their return truly special each year
ReplyDeleteBoth birds are beautiful, great captures and sightings.

The males sing while the females work....hhhhhmmm! Interesting! hahaha! Love the photos and I'm glad you got to observe them!
ReplyDeleteI followed a redstart from tree to tree yesterday, but couldn't get a good pic. Yours are wonderful!
