Thanks for Joining me on a sunny day in Staffordshire in Cannock Chase where I track down Common Redstart in their habitat and get lucky with a Male Redstart that just keeps coming back to perform up close, These summer migrants are one of my favourite birds, In this video I point out some tips to avoid blown out backgrounds to make the most of the Redstarts fantastic colour! Thanks for watching.

They are beautiful birds and you have done them justice, this area has been so good this year with some stunning bird life. Another great video.

Thanks, it was difficult at first to get a close enough encounter to show their amazing colour but this individual loved the attention, Thanks for watching 👀 😀

Well done on finding and capturing great images of a beautiful bird. I haven’t seen one for a few years, last time was Ynys-Hir in North Wales where Springwatch was using the reserve as its base. I haven’t been to Cannock since the early 90’s, probably before you were born, I’m going to subscribe to keep an eye on an area I fell in love with all that time ago.

Thanks for watching and Subscribing, yes I'm very lucky to live a short drive away it's so diverse on the chase and Redstart are one of my favourite Birds for sure!

Thanks for watching, glad you enjoyed it, I would say Freda's Grave area and a walk down to Sherbrook Valley following the stream is a good route alot of varying species to see
