Last week's visit to the UK for a cataract op will improve my birding enjoyment I hope.
One of the first birds which I saw with my new eye was the male red backed shrike at La Tache. He was very noisy and accompanied by a young bird. Close by there was a nightingale. This species is very common in Spring but once the birds stop singing they seem to disappear entirely and give the impression that they have already cleared off to the south. This one was popping in and out of a bush accompanied by house sparrows.
I'm still thinking about the possible identity of the bird which Cagouille described in a comment in mid month.
