9P1A7838 Black Redstart (juvenile) Manchester
Black Redstart
The second family of Black Redstarts in Manchester often landed on a ledge which was a little plane and uninteresting. I therefore found some Buddleia heads and placed small piles of them at regular intervals so that I could create a bit of colour and pleasing blurs. Birds do not pose to order and once a bird is close to a flower head then the desired blur does not occur so the hit rate for getting a bird posing nicely and with nice blurs in the background and foreground becomes considerably reduced.
I have spent the last few days looking for Black Redstarts in Manchester and other places out of the city where I think the habitat is suitable.
