Black Redstart - Svartrødstjert - Phoenicurus ochruros
Svart rodstjart  - Husrødstjert - Mustaleppalintu - Zwarte roodstaart - Hausrotschwanz


Black Redstart is a species I associate with docks and harbours - I've seen then whilst alongside in countries throughout Europe, from Denmark to Gibraltar. They are one of the first migrants to start moving in the spring and one of the last in the autumn and are always a pleasure to see.
