Pied flycatchers and Whinchats

The weather has cooled significantly although it still reaches the upper 20's in the sunshine and the first signs of return migration are around. Two whinchats were with a family group of six stonechats near La Rochette on Friday and a couple of pied flycatchers have been flitting around the trees in my garden. A male common redstart that was in the garden yesterday was probably a passage bird.
