Bird of the week – The Redstart
Redstart (Phoenicurus phoenicurus)
Definitely one of the most dashingly handsome of the garden visitors, he can easily give his cousin the Robin a run for his money. They are very much cut from the same cloth, but the Redstart ain’t half as bossy or nosey as the Robin. He just darts about singing with his lady-friend, flicking his beautiful orange tail. And what a lady she is, my word, by far the prettiest of all the female little birds. Spending any amount of time gazing upon this fair maiden is worth its weight in gold.
I have selected the tracks for the 10th in Caught By The Rivers series of ‘Birdsongs’ compilations. The download link will be sent out on Friday’s newsletter. To receive it make sure you’re signed up to their mailing list.
