Firetail Safari

Firetail Safari

Common Redstarts once referred to as Firetails because of their flashing red tail are beautiful songbirds which return to the UK from Africa in April. 

Redstarts nest in the North York Moors National Park amongst ancient woodland often along tranquil river valleys where many other spring birds can be found such as Common Cuckoo, Pied Flycatcher, Spotted Flycatcher and Tree Pipit. Nearby nesting waders such as Eurasian Curlew and Northern Lapwings are often feeding their young chicks at this time of year.
