Again a black redstart visits us unexpectedly
14. June 2025 - Wildlife
A summer sighting of a female black redstart, a bird that has previously visited us in the winter yet is not expected here at any time of year.
A black redstart was noted here in Dec-Jan 2023. I photographed a female black redstart again today in our farmyard and in a bush about 30m from the buildings.
