At first I thought it was a dunnock skulking in the rockery, then its twitchy tail was wagtail like.
It was grey all over except for a white fleck on top and a rusty colour under tail. This was especially noticeable as it flew off.
Any suggestions please?
Black redstart
Thankyou Fredwin! That's him (or possibly her). I overlooked it in the bird book as the picture showed a much darker bird.
Great bird to get in your garden
