Welcome to BirdForum. That's a nice male Common Redstart you have there.

Hi Trev and a warm welcome from me too.

I'm sure you will enjoy it here and I hope to hear about all the birds you see when out and about.

Those Redstarts really are beautiful birds, aren't they.

Thanks

Hello Everyone and thank you, we have lots of Redstarts around here but none have a white cap which is why I didn't recognise it. is the white cap common to these birds?

thanks

They normally have a white forehead and I think that's the white you're seeing on this photo. It looks fairly normal to me but maybe the angle is making it look a bit whiter than it usually does.
