Common Redstart, Hilfield, 29/3/14
It was a really fantastic surprise to find a male Common Redstart in the garden this morning. A truly stunning bird to have here and a rather scarce one, particularly as late March is rather early for this species which winters in Sub-Saharan Africa to arrive in Britain. I hope it stays around for a while!
There are good numbers of Chiffchaffs singing in the garden right now, and there have been several Meadow Pipits flying over- Spring is certainly well and truly on its way. Hopefully Swallows will be coming soon....
