When will I have time for Redstarts?

One early morning there’s a male Redstart in the wood. It’s very distant but I can hear it clearly. It’s far away but I’m not going to chase it. I’m busy with Lesser Spotted Woodpeckers. Can you see it?

Another early morning there’s a male Redstart on the moor. It’s less distant but I can see it hunting insects in the grass and returning to a perch in the density of a Hawthorn. It’s far away but I’m not going to chase it. I’m busy with Cuckoos.

The question remains; when will I have time for Redstarts?
