The Redstarts

Our little Redstarts have had their chicks.

It’s so beautiful to watch Mr Redstart working all day to bring food home to his fam, we get to watch home whilst we are sitting having breakfast. Flitting in and out, careful of who sees him, changing his direction if he thinks he’s been spotted. We try and keep clear of them, but it’s difficult as it’s where we park our car. Mrs Redstart occasionally leaves the nest, but only for a quick stretch of her wings then back again to mind the family.

When they fly back there is always a lot of commotion from the chicks, in anticipation of their imminent feeding. It really is just so delightful.
