Ratel's photos #33 Forest Birds-15

The common redstart (Phoenicurus phoenicurus)

By the way, redstart is recognized as "the bird of the year in Russia in 2015."

I do not know about you, but we have, in addition to the forest, these birds can be heard in the yards. Namely, you can hear their desires. Annoying and vile! They can sit and "blather" for a long time, sometimes even annoying! > :(

The bird is not shy, without any problems, adheres to itself, although it is wary.

They feed on insects in the summer, in the cold times by various berries, fruits.
By the way, in the photo, the male bears a small gift to the female.

And this is the same female. As is customary in birds, females are not beautiful :)
