The ones which nest in next doors roof are always late too, usually turn up in June! Never managed a decent shot of one so will settle for that. :toast:

Stunning looking birds, and I like the perch too :toast: :wavey:

P.S., is your stalker back ? your viewing numbers are high again ?

Lovely shot John!
Might be tempted to tone down saturation a little bit.
Stunning birds these Redstarts and only see them very occasionally..

Very nice, perhaps a bit too contrasty, but a subject I would like to nail away from the tree tops! :toast: :toast:
