Summer Migrants

This years migration is well under way. I've made several visits to one of my favourite places nearby in the Goyt Valley, and I've not been disappointed. Pied Flycatchers, Redstarts and Tree Pipits are back where they belong and I've had fun trying to locate them, with varying degrees of success. So far, I have only located one or two male Pied Flycatchers. The females are always a little later, so I will have to go back to find them. I've also only found a couple of male Redstarts, but they are great little birds, and add so much colour and vibrancy to any day. Tree Pipits are not so colourful, but they make up for that with their song. All in all, the woodlands have a lot more sound and colour at the moment, and it's most welcome 😀

  1. What beautiful photos, Adam.
    I have never seen a pied flycatcher.
    Unfortunately, I can't understand what you're saying in the video.
    The surroundings are beautiful there.
    All the best, Irma

  7. While I enjoy seeing the big birds when I am out birding, I truly like watching the little ones like you shared in your photos.
