Yes Bas, utterly juvie rob.....have a dig for a juvie redstart..............a while back I had the joy of playing ( ok making images of one). My knowledge of Brit birds is not brill, but that little kid redstart had me musing robin, although in my gut I knew it wasn't. Juvenile redstart is just a gnat's B paler than robin and the give away is all withiin the tail feathers.

Basil robins are my daily friend redstart I've seen so few times, To have a kid confiding in me was such a huge thing, I was backing away because my guts told me this isn't robin, little un kept coming

I know I made images of a young redstart that day because I later watched it's dad feed it... my thoughts here are...

.really focus on those little details of the common seen birds Bas.....one day you will have something so similar one could pass over a chance at a species one rarely sees

Learning the base with birds is so important ;)

t is white bread in the feeder) - I think that the advice is not to feed them with household bread - white or brown, it's OK for humans but not for our little feathered friends ...... just passing on what I knew
