Phoenicurus ochruros

Phoenicurus ochruros, commonly known as the Black Redstart, is a bird species found in Croatia's urban areas, rocky slopes, and open woodlands.

Distinguished by its slate-grey plumage with a striking orange-red tail, the Black Redstart is known for its adaptability to human-modified landscapes. This species primarily feeds on insects and small invertebrates, contributing to pest control in urban and natural habitats alike.

Conservation efforts focused on preserving diverse urban green spaces and maintaining natural habitats are crucial for ensuring the survival of Phoenicurus ochruros in Croatia. Protecting these environments from pollution, habitat loss, and climate change impacts supports the biodiversity and ecological balance necessary for the Black Redstart's well-being.
