My wildlife photography: the black redstart, Phoenicurus ochruros. It's amazing how common has this bird become in the urban area where I live: I think I see them more frequently than sparrows nowadays! These photos were taken in a beach thow, in southwestern Portugal. Impossible to mistake with any other species, especially the males: dark black plummage, with a red tail. They have a small white spot on the wings, but they're not visible in this photo.

Wow, looking so great and might in there!
When I see these beauties around, I feel so sad that I can't pet them all and they're afraid of humans! I wish I could be able to pet all loving animals on earth!
He's beautiful! Maybe they don't have that many natural predators and they're breeding like crazy? Somewhat like pidgeons in big cities? On the other hand, what camera do you use Pardinus? Great shots as always!
