A small European Robin sized bird is perched on the edge of a rock with some short vegetation at the bottom of the photo. It's greyish brown, facing the camera though with its head buried under a wing which is sticking out a little on the right. Its tail is a rich reddish brown and is sticking up and fanned out. The background is a diffuse mix of greens dark yellows and gold.
Another post for today's #BirdOfTheDay theme of #Preeners&Scratchers, and another apparently headless bird. This time a Black Redstart (Phoenicurus ochruros) preening. I love the way it's got its tail sticking up and fanned out!
