The city beautification campaign is underway - the black redstarts are back!

I present the bird of the year, well at least in Germany, where every year an environmental organizations calls for people to vote for the bird of the year to draw attention to endangered birds or birds that represent certain environmental challenges. The winner for 2025 is the black redstart, because he represents a bird that needs insects, but the numbers of insects are decreasing. He also needs little hidden spots in buildings to nest, but those get rarer too.

This male black redstart was foraging at the banks of the river Tejo in Portugal, when I took those pictures this February.

12th February 2024: Early spring day at Lakeside and home

Pictures I took today in this set are of; beautiful blossom at Lakeside it is really blooming now, another gorgeous Red Admiral which I was thrilled to see at Lakeside my first patch butterfly of the year, beautiful views at Lakeside on a smashing day, Collared Dove at Lakeside, the Black Redstart out the back it was thrilling to see it come back into the garden again today, alder catkins, one of a few gorgeous crocuses seen at Lakeside I had a feeling they'd be out today and Greylag Geese. Snowdrops, violet and loads of lesser celandine in a fancy foray into varied spring flowers on my lunch time walk, Jay, Moorhen, lively Blue and Great Tit at Lakeside, Goldfinch at home with Chaffinch, Ring-necked Parakeet and Wren heard well at Lakeside were other highlights today.
