Not so 'common' anymore at all, the redstart has sadly been declining in Europe.
The Common Redstart is now an Amber List species and Germany's Bird of the
Year 2011.
It's quite rare in the Southeast of England so being able to watch a
pair raise their young in East Sussex last year was a very special
experience.
