Redstart
A pair of redstarts at Padley Gorge today but they were always in the sun. No matter how long we waited they stayed the wrong side for photography. Still, very nice to see such smart birds.

Plenty of wheatears on Scotton Common and Risby Warren these last few days
Fieldfare
18 fieldfares today on Scotton Common feeding alongside wheatears and yellow wagtails

Padley Gorge, a fabulous, magical place. Been for our annual pilgramage there to see pied flycatcher and redstart.
This is one of Karen's all-time favourite places.
