Black redstarts, Winter Hill


Black redstarts are pretty frequent at Winter Hill mast compound and in the past week there have been up to four birds present. They can be very elusive and in a three hour search today I managed to see two for a few minutes, but not well enough to be able to decide if they were juveniles or females. This particular bird was flycatching off the wall of the building.





This juvenile female green woodpecker was from the road to the mast in the horse paddocks near George's Lane. Also today a swift in amongst a decent passage of house martins, plus about 12 wheatears.
