Juvenile redstart

That looks more like a first-year male/adult female Black Redstart.

You are the expert, but I have never seen a black redstart around here, but there is always a first time

Have a great trip, Puffie! I hope that the meteo will treat you well $\O$

Looks like next Wednesday might be nice...

I love those redstarts to bits! Not many around here and the one resident couple hasn't returned to our "garden"

The black variety I've only ever seen around our school building (some serious trees and greens there - in contrast
to our flat

) but no photo as my smartphone is a hoot and obviously I don't carry my camera around

Well done, Lis $O/\$

This morning I saw a male black redstart sitting on the gate. They are beautiful $O/\$ $O/\$
