Common Redstart [rödstjärt]

The redstarts are now somewhat less shy. Lucky me :) Hedegärde, Uddevalla, on July 8, 2020.

Our neighbor redstarts are very shy. They love to sit on the fences, however, but if anyone comes close they disappear into the woods immediately. And they sing beautifully! Hedegärde, Uddevalla, on June 26, 2020.

It seems as if we have a new neighbors, a family of redstarts! Love these, but they really should try and sit still for a moment so that I can take some better pics ;) Hedegärde, Uddevalla, on June 18, 2020.

I can't remember I have ever seen so many redstarts as this year. They are truly spectacular! Here is also a pic of a juvenile redstart, recently fledged. Regementsparken, Uddevalla, on June 19, 2015.
