For a couple
of weeks I enjoyed watching a family of redstarts nesting in a gap above the
front door, conveniently opposite a bedroom window from which to film. Looking
back at the footage I was surprised to see the ‘potty practice’. Daddy redstart
landed in the nest, delivered food then waited a while until one of the chicks
turned round, raised its bum into the air and pooped out a white sack. Amazing!
