Black Redstart Phoenicurus ochruros

Black Redstart - Phoenicurus ochruros - Female

She comes dances, frits and flies away, Much to the amusement of the birder who clicks away, capturing her beauty in his soul. 
 photographing her antics for the world to scroll.

The Black Redstart our winter visitor, makes it up the hill during September. This year I photographed the female and male in the first week of October 2018. This species stays right up to March. These birds always appear to be on the move, eye-catching and can inspire the person watching them.
Did you know? 
We know the Black Redstart as the Indra Ghandi Bird in India. It inspired her to write poetry and praise for its petite behaviour.
