Return of the Redstart

I am retyping this as the original, although shown as being published, did not appear. It contained two photo's one which was very small, so I recorded the larger one shown below which did appear. Here goes at getting the thing on show.

Yesterday I saw a Redstart hovering around where one nested many years ago. I got the actual shot of the bird by covering myself with a white sheet and mingling with sheep which were in the field where I lay down with the camera pointing at the nest in the wall.
This was no more than two feet away from steps up into the house, as in the view of the wall. I often worried about cats but the bird seemed unconcerned. Lets hope this will be published.
