Redwing
In the leaf-strewn rainwater pool on top of our substation, having a bath and taking a moment to watch the world go by.

Soon the last few will have left the UK and flown back to their northern breeding territories, where they nest low down in boggy woodland and birch forest.

Thank you for your comments, stay safe and well, and good birding!
