Loch Lomond - RSPB Loch Lomond
A female Common Redstart (Phoenicurus phoenicurus) at its nest hole in a dead tree at RSPB Loch Lomond, in Scotland. Redstarts are cavity-nesting birds and nest preferably in open or semi-open Birch and Oak woodlands or in meadows with bushes and orchards, characterised by high horizontal visibility and by the presence of old trees, walls, rocks, and banks with suitable holes for nesting. However, natural holes are limited in Britain due to the lack of old-growth woodland, and Redstarts readily use human-made nest boxes when available, making them an easy species to observe and study. Taken by David Palmar from a distance to avoid disturbance. Description improved by Ilaria Lonero.
