BLACK REDSTART by sangwann

BLACK REDSTART

View large, if you have time. Thank you.
Some days ago I was walking along the Sliema promenade looking around for some shots to take when, on the rocks below, I saw this tiny bird hopping from one puddle to another. I took a quick shot of it and did not bother to look at it as I thought it was just a normal house sparrow. When I was looking at my shots on the computer I found out it was a different bird altogether – it had the pose of a robin but not the same colours. On the internet I found it was a Black Redstart which species comes from the same family as robins.
Thank you very much for looking and for your lovely comments on yesterday's picture.
I always find it exciting when a new bird pops up in the area. Lovely capture of this little fellow.

What a lovely discovery and how nice that you have a picture of him otherwise you would never have known what you saw.

what a good catch, I am surprised he stayed still that long

Great catch! And viewed large, you really can see the clarity of your shot -- bird, stone, and puddles.

So clear Dione, love the depth of the water too.

I rely like the simplicity of this..and the water is sort of like a heart shape

He is certainly a sweet little thing
