Black Redstart Phoenicurus ochruroshttp://www.wildlifetrust.org.uk/urbanwt/ecorecord/bap/html/redstart.htmCommon and widespread in continental Europe, the black redstart is a recent coloniser to Britain, first breeding on coastal cliffs of southern England in 1923. It took to bombed sites in London during the 1940s and has since spread to other urban areas. It is still rarer in Britain than either the golden eagle or osprey... Black Redstarts Phoenicurus ochruroshttp://www.blackredstarts.org.uk/Since 1997, conservation of the black redstart has raised its red tail above the parapet as an issue in urban Britain, specifically London. This website aims to draw on all the recent successes and information available in this field, one that is more pressing since the publication of the Government`s Urban White Paper in 2000. Amongst many welcome proposals, this targets urban brownfields for development and regeneration. Such areas support many of the strong holds of the black redstart in the UK.

The SOCIETY invites you to join in this much needed conservation effort. The primary objective of the SOCIETY is to educate all who will listen about the importance of preserving these singular creatures in their native environment. Toward this end, the SOCIETY will work, within the bounds of effective conservation, to study those obstacles impeding bluebird recovery; to publish results of those studies; to promote ideas and actions which might reduce the effect of those obstacles; and to obtain a more complete knowledge about bluebird ecology. Narcissina, Owstoni & Elisae Ficedula flycatchershttp://www.birdskorea.org/narcissustypes.aspAlthough all three of these stunning taxa are still considered to be part of Narcissus Flycatcher Ficedula narcissina by most birdwatchers (mostly perhaps as there is so little information available on them?) it is fairly obvious that the three are actually really rather different - with apparently consistent differences between narcissina, elisae and owstoni in structure; in male and (most) female-type plumages; in breeding and non-breeding ranges; in breeding habitat; and even it is believed in songs. The paper, already with almost 50 images from several countries of the region (inc. Korea, Japan, China, the Philippines and Malaysia), looks at the status and distribution of all three taxa (with a focus on South Korea) as well as their identification. Nightingale Luscinia magarhynchoshttp://www.birdcare.com/bin/showpage/portraits/ngportraitNightingales have many fans and areas where they can be heard become well known by local bird watchers and naturalists.

In the pied flycatcher (Ficedula hypoleuca); a particulary well studied polygynous passerine species, two models of polygyny are most prominent nowadays: one in which already-mated males deceive the females about their mating status, and one in which the status of already-mated males is known to the females that decide to male with them anyway, making the best of a bad job. In our study we compared the models by computer simulation and then compared the results with available field data... Redstart Phoenicurus phoenicurushttp://www.birdfood.co.uk/fact_files/redstart.htm(Very nice) Image + Easily distinguishable, Redstarts are similar in shape and posture to Robins but with a unique plumage.
