During a recent visit to Thursley Common I spent some time in a small
area of deciduous woodland listening to the soft but melancholy, high
pitched song of the [Common] Redstart (Phoenicurus phoenicurus) high in the overhead canopy. One of the more colourful visitors during April to September that migrates to the UK from Africa to breed.
After a while one male decided to descend nearly to my level and briefly perched before disappearing behind a nearby tree trunk only to reappear a few minutes later and burst into song.
A Real Beauty.
