A stunning male - is there a better-looking British bird? - seen singing at Blackmoor Reserve, Charterhouse yesterday afternoon. This piece of woodland isn’t extensive so he may have been responsible for all the Redstart song that I heard but it’s possible that more than one bird was present. A welcome sight among the ubiquitous Chiffchaffs, Blackcaps and Willow Warblers.
