Black Redstart (Phoenicurus ochruros)

On a birding trip in the Dordogne, last November, the weather was dull and had little luck, particularly for getting decent photos, but this beauty in a children's playground appeared unconcerned of my intrusion. I suspect it is a female or first winter male. This was a first sighting of this species.
