Redstart

This morning I should have been ironing, making beds, cleaning bathrooms etc after a busy bank holiday weekend in our B&B. Instead I made a flask of hot chocolate, grabbed my camera and went off to our nearby RSPB reserve. I was delighted to see that these little summer visitors had returned to breed again.

Well done you! Much better to go out and take some stunning photographs than doing the ironing!!. Great shot!

Move over all wildlife photographers! Lovely shot, Sue, and a well earned break from home duties. Look forward to more!

@yogisue @claireuk @dizzyd @pamelaclarke @gille @foxes37 @craig3f2 Thank you everyone. I'd only ever seen one redstart in my life (about 15 years ago) until I went to the reserve today. I was absolutely thrilled. I shall play hooky more often.
