Nest Boxes Pay off

Juvenile Redstart.

Adult Male Redstart, sorry for poor quality, digi scoped against bad light.

In 2008 the bird club put up boxes in order to attract this species to a particular valley. We can now confirm that this year a pair has used one and successfully raised at least 2 young. Whilst in this area this PM a Hobby flew over much to our delight.
