Common Redstart, Gartenrotschwanz, Phoenicurus phoenicurus
Saw this Beauty last year in October on our compound.
Did I mention that I still have a bunch of birdies left to ID?
These fellows are usually pretty shy.
This one must have been an exception.
He posed for me nicely before he flew off 
The common Redstart is a small bird.
Only about 15cm tall and slim.
Watch for the red tail, grey back, white forehead, black face
and chestnut underparts in the plumage of a male in summer.
