The Black Redstart is a small bird belonging to the family of thrushes, known scientifically as *Phoenicurus ochruros*. It typically measures about 13 to 14 centimeters in length and is recognized by its striking slate-gray plumage and bright orange-red tail. This bird is commonly found in urban areas, gardens, and rocky habitats across Europe and parts of Asia. Black Redstarts primarily feed on insects and small invertebrates, often foraging on the ground. They are known for their distinctive song and can be seen perched prominently, where they display their vibrant tail. During the breeding season, they build nests in crevices or sheltered locations, making them adaptable to various environments.
