Description

For the second year in a row, a couple of Black Redstarts nested in our garden in April-May ! It was a real challenge to capture a good picture of these shy birds… But finally (with my 500 mm lens) I could make some nice shots… (this picture was taken on May 28, 2011) The Black Redstart Phoenicurus ochruros is a small passerine bird in the redstart genus Phoenicurus. Like its relatives, it was formerly classed as a member of the Thrush family (Turdidae), but is now known to be an Old World flycatcher (Muscicapidae). In French: Rougequeue noir Thank you very much for your comments on my previous upload:
