Evening: driving up to the far end of Dorney Lake, I stopped to look at a wheatear among the plantations near the seat - and as I clicked off a shot from the car, I heard a "hooeet" call.

Sure enough there was a redstart on the footpath side of one of the plantations, but it was very wary and flew into the hedgerow bordering Dorney Common. In fact, I'm pretty sure there were two.
