Martin's Haven

A nice mini-fall on migrants this morning: very bright Willow Warblers, Robins, and an immature/female-type Redstart. It was still around this evening, and very tame, dropping down to feed at our feet at one stage, so possibly a rather pale Black rather than Common.

Update: having looked at a lot of photos it was definitely a Common Redstart: the plumage was buff and warm, not cold and grey. The tameness (so similar to the Black Redstarts I have seen in towns and villages in central Europe) had me puzzled.
