Sometimes it is hard to determine the age of a bird. According to the images in my book this male should be in it´s first winterplumage. I don´t know if they start breeding their first season. The male should be black on the throat. But it could be an ad male that lost some of its breeding plumage I guess.
Last year I only managed to get one photo of a female Redstart. Now I got myself a family. :)

ReplyDeleteA lovely collection of redstart photos. Somewhat different from the American Redstarts I know best - didn't realize that they aren't related closely to each other.
