Black Redstart (male)
This is an image of a 2nd calander year male nearing completion of moult. When he bred his plumage was pretty much identical with that of the female. In Manchester I have observed two pairs of Black Redstarts and each of them have had two broods. There have been no previous recordings of double brooding here. There has been another first here in Manchester concerning these birds but I will leave that for another post. This image is made with my newly acquired 5D MKIV which I am loving. My old 7D Mkii has become difficult to operate but served me well. I have ordered an R7 which I ordered from the get go but sadly whilst others appear to have got theirs, I am still waiting:-(
