🦉 The common redstart (Phoenicurus phoenicurus)
- Phoenicurus Greek: dark red phoinix, oura tail
This bright bird arrives when spring is already warm and the snow has almost melted. After all, at this time the insects that this bird feeds on appear.
But at this time it is not so easy to photograph this bird. She is timid and cautious, and will not let you get close to her.
But after the mating season everything changes. Once you enter a male's territory, he will defend it. It will scream, shake its tail, and attract your attention so that you follow it, thereby leading you away from the nest and offspring.
