Loch Lomond - East Loch Lomond
Redstart (Phoenicurus phoenicurus), Glasgow University Scene biological research station, Rowardennan A male Common Redstart (Phoenicurus phoenicurus) perched on a tree branch, at the Glasgow University SCENE biological research station, in Rowardennan, on the eastern shore of Loch Lomond in Scotland. Common Redstarts are migratory birds and are found in the UK only during the breeding season, when they arrive after spending the winter in western Africa. During spring, they have an insectivorous diet and rely on open habitats like woodland edges, gardens, cemeteries and fields to find perches and spot insects, spiders, and caterpillars. Description improved by Ilaria Lonero.
