Rufous Bush Robin (Cercotrichas galactotes)

Rufous bush robins (also called Rufous-tailed Scrub-Robin) are late breeders and arrive in May to the Mediterranean coast. This one was seen in the Strait of Gibraltar, near Tarifa, where it will stay until September. This is the time to come and see them!

Thanks everyone for all your kind comments! They are quite charismatic and not difficult to photograph (once you find them!)
