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!

To point or not to point, that is the question
Mr and Mrs Redstart were busy ferrying food into the nest and keeping the inside neat and tidy. Will I manage to see the chicks fly off?
