Black Redstart
Phoenicurus ochruros
TR: Kara kizilkuyruk

*The Black Redstart (Phoenicurus ochruros) is a small passerine bird that was formerly classed as a member of the Thrush family (Turdidae), but is now more generally considered to be an Old World flycatcher (Muscicapidae).

It is a widespread breeder in south and central Europe, but very localised in Great Britain. It is resident in the milder parts of its range, but northern birds winter in southern Europe or north Africa.

The Black Redstart is 13-14.5cm in length. The male has no chestnut on the flanks nor white on the forehead. The female is greyer than the Common Redstart, and at any age the grey axillaries and under wing-coverts are distinctive.

Merhaba,
geçen kış bu kuşun benzerlerinden biri dışarının soğuğundan kaçıp misafir gelmişti bana.bir kaç fotoğrafını çektim ve sonra dışarı bıraktım.Sizinki tabii ki doğal ortamında çok daha güzel...

Hello Selen,

What a very beautiful composition.
Love to see something different like your image here.
Most of the time bird images are shot as close as possible, but this one whit the bird not that prominent in the frame is perfect.
Technically great with perfect sharpness, clarity and exposure and due to that details are most wonderfully visible.
Superb work. TFS!!!

Best regards, Harry

Absolutely perfect shot Selen!!!
That tail seems very out-of-place on a would-be bland bird :-)
Graet composition and POV.
Nice light too.
Vibrent colours and a perfect exposure.

Terrific three-dimensional image of the fine bird on so cute bushes. Details and sharpness of these objects are superb as well as the blurriness of the pleasant BG. Bravo. Excellent, refined work.
