Lesser Whitethroat and Redstart near Montgomery


Thanks to Lionel Weaver who took these photos this morning through his window at home at Hendomen. To have these two in the same garden in the same morning is remarkable. Lionel adds, "this is the first time to have seen them in the garden in 22 years of being here."
