Black redstart

The black redstart is a little songbird with a taste for rocky landscapes. It makes its home across Europe, Asia, and North Africa, with some populations migrating while others stay put year-round. You might spot it flicking its rusty-red tail as it perches on stone walls or cliffs.

• Belongs to the Old World flycatcher family of birds.
• Nests in rocky areas from Britain all the way to China.
• Northern populations fly south for winter while southern ones stay home.
