Redstarts ?

Hello Rusty

Is Redstarts the name of a bird? or does it refer to the red/orange feathers? Many thanks.

Same answer was given yesterday on another forum and the OP seemed happy with it.

Hello, Jimail,
Yes, a redstart is a bird, noted for its red and orange tail.

Hello Rusty

Yes, you are right. I have altered one of my other clue answers to ant nest instead of ant heap and it fits in with redstart. So, thank you. You have solved the problem.

Hello, Janet!
