IdentificationBlack Redstarts have similar quivering red tails to Redstarts but the males are otherwise sooty-grey in colour apart from a blacker face and breast and a variable white panel in the wing. Females can be told from Redstarts because they are always duller with uniformly dark underparts from bill to legs. HabitatBreeds in towns and villages and in mountainous scree or sea cliffs. Winters on rocky shores, beaches, stony ground and around buildings. MigrationMost of the birds in the north and central Europe, including many from Britain, winter in Mediterranean areas. Those which winter around the southern coasts of the British Isles could, in some cases, be birds which have stayed in their breeding areas but they are more likely to be immigrants from continental Europe.
