Tail a bit out of focus,as you know they are not birds that like to keep there tails still.

Good reminder of Summer (Summer ? :frown: )
It would have been nicer with the feet showing but can't have it all.
Fore head a tiny bit blown but Redstarts are a pain in that respect.
Nice shot though.
Cheers
John

Lovely looking bird, I would be happy with that.

The plain green backdrop sets the bird off beautifully and shows the wonderful plumage colour off perfectly.
