A beauty John.

Very nice work John, lost a little DOF on the tail but doesn't really detract from this great little bird.

I wonder what it is about the forehead. I have never photographed this species myself, but I notice that in many photos it appears blown. Here you have controlled it far better than average. Nice shot.

Nice composition John

Get rid of the white bit on the left hand side John.
Good looking Redstart who says British Birds are drab.

Major.

Lovely shot, John. Wish we had a few of these in Norfolk.

Simon

Thanks all.
I think sometimes its just the way the light hits the head, and of couse dull conditions are better.,
Will do major,when I've had me tea !! Cheers

Hi John,

Lovely image. These are very very very very high on my wish list !! If I do catch up with them this Summer, I hope I get an image as good as this one.

Regards

Rob

This is stunning John, beautiful. Perfect exposure too - just taken a moment off from the delights of French cuisine and the pleasures of wine tasting to spend a few moments on UKNP and finding this was worth my sacrifice!!

Thanks again.

-good to see you're still on the pop !!John

Hello John.

Very nice capture of a stunning bird, back ground really works well on this one.

Very nice shot of this beautiful bird.
