A Black Redstart along the undercliff.

3 Redstarts for you today. Here's a black redstart from earlier this year. He was a real crowd-puller and didn't mind the attention.

Another Black Redstart from my Hungarian trip.

Its a beautiful bird although its black colour.

A welcome sight along the undercliff, this pretty little Black Redstart.

Another shot of this beauty I found in Malta

One of two black redstarts in gardens adjacent to the lighthouse at Hunstanton.

It was so good to see one of these little beauties back along the undercliff last week. They were a no-show here last year, after breeding here in 2006 and 2007. Lets hope this little un finds a mate, and they decide to set up home along the beach.

Well I was was really chuffed to see this little beauty patrolling the lengths of the undercliff calling out for a friend yesterday. I see it from a distance on wednesday, so positioned myself where I thought I was out of its sight. Its a pity about the huge light coloured rock at the right of...

Posing in the sunshine for me.

I was really pleased to see a few of these birds around.

Showing us his rear flanks this time, which are the most colourful parts I guess. If all birds were as accommodating as this, bird photography would be far too easy!

I think the best one from my Coleshill trip. :t:

Perched on a concrete pipe, against metal railings. Not exactly an ideal setting, but unusual.

I could actually get close to him yesterday, in sunshine too! A lovely bird to observe, and great for photos.

A lovely little bird. but I am afraid another dodgy result from today. For my gallery all the same.

This bird has remained in the same very busy area of the Beach for a Month now It just ignores the noise and keeps its distance from people. Long may it stay

My first opportunity to see this species which was an exciting start to the new year. I actually managed to spot them quite frequently but always from a distance. This is probably the best of a bad bunch.
