birds around us- black redstart

The black redstart (Phoenicurus ochruros)

With black redstart I met quite late. Sure I saw her once, but I did not pay attention. Today, I see it in many places. He likes to be near the farm buildings, where he finds a place to build a wall outlet. Observe it is quite easy when you locate his residence. Not really stand out colorful plumage, but during the flight from a distance you can see the bright orange tail. In English (Redstart) and Russia (Gorichwostka) in the name of a bird, this feature exists. Here are some pictures of male and females of the bird where the male has a more enhanced color.
