Pied Flycatcher & Redstart

15th am. Woodcockair, Hoddom. ♀️Pied Flycatcher showing well at woodland edge. ♂️Redstart a different proposition however, calling high up in the beeches & oaks. I lost my old records due to a recent house move, but I am sure the earliest I’ve previously had them here were the 23rd & 18th April respectively. Also notable were Blackcap, Willow Warbler, Chiffchaff, Goldcrest, Nuthatch, Great Spotted Woodpecker a soaring Sparrowhawk. Bill Jamieson.
