  Redstarts have a reedy warble unlike any other bird, you will know it when you hear it @mikeymustard.

  I've just checked on the glosbirding site and there's definitely been sightings to the west of the county, so I shall have to keep eyes and ears open!

  Mrs Redstart certainly doesn't warble if she thinks you're getting too close to her nest!  We've been shouted at a lot this summer cos one pair nested in our "cave".   We've just had a juvenile bird hovering at the living room window and then perching on the edge of a pot.   Never seen Dad tho.
