Roils Head
Thanks to HeavyBirder for the previous posts,prompted me to go up to Roils Head looking for the redstart. Never been up before,really glad i did,good hour produced loads of birds. will definatley be heading back. Found the redstart in the tree line at the far mount tabor end.very flighty but managed to get a few photos.Also my ongoing quest to get a good goldcrest photo got a little closer,can never manage to find one that stays still.managed an impressive back shot today!

Well done Matt, glad to know its still there, will have another look tomorrow. Redstarts are rare in the spring at Roils Head but fairly common in August and early September. Was the heron in the frog ponds, it usually is.
Well done to get photos as well. Goldcrests are pretty tricky and Redstarts dont stay still for long either.
didnt see any ponds!! the heron was a flyover towards mount tabor
