@birdlifemalta: 🌟 Meet the Black Redstart – Malta’s Winter Guest! 🌟 In today’s reel, we’re spotlighting the Black Redstart (Fjamma), a winter visitor to Malta from autumn onwards. 🪶 Key Features: 🔸 Both males and females have a striking orange tail, giving the bird its name. 🔸 Males: Dark grey plumage, black mask, and white wing feathers—like a sharp suit! 🔸 Females: Subtle grey tones with no wing markings but still stunning! 🦅 Like other species, females’ duller colours provide camouflage while nesting, keeping them safe from predators. 🎥 Watch the reel to see this beautiful bird up close and learn more about its fascinating journey to Malta!
