Wood Lane - whose baby are you?

I remember a 'whose baby' image a few years ago which was a whole lot harder than this?  This is easy peasy, clues blasting out at you...



Yes, you've got it! But don't scroll down until your mind is made up!
































The tiny glimpse of red on the tail and red developing on the breast, a Common Redstart...




The $64,000 question - male or female?

Scilly day 15 - Common Redstart

A back injury held me back today. I managed a short walk along Porthcressa beach late afternoon, where the only bird of note was this Common Redstart......

Favouring the wild 'rock garden' at the end of the beach!


So mainly on rocks :-)


But occasionally plants!



A very obliging bird!





At least I can still walk but having to be sooooo careful and no heavy gear!
