    Female Redstart


    Female Redstart by Andy_Leslie, on Flickr

    Female Redstart @Dinas RSPB Reserve near Llandovery yesterday.
    Canon 7D EF70-200mm f/4L w 1.4x extender @280mm;1/100th sec; f/6.3; ISO 250

    Enjoy!

    Incidentally I recommend Dinas, a lovely place.

      It's been the subject of some debate, but does match the pics of a female Redstart in my Collins.

      If anyone has an alternative ID, please suggest away. I've asked the BTO for a definitive ID but no response yet.

        I would say Wheatear, but I may be wrong though? Lol

        PS I have only ever seen one female Redstart. But loads of Males. I am going by the shape of the head.

            Definitely female Wheatear, the bill is too heavy for a Redstart, the eye too large and the wing markings too distinct.
            This was taken last week:
