#daurianredstartr

Female Daurian Redstart (Phoenicurus auroreus) Once seen only in winter, breeding records within the country have increased. Breeding was first confirmed in Karuizawa in 2017, and it is now commonplace to see them in summer too. The English name ‘Daurian Redstart’ derives from the region of eastern Russia, “Dauria”, in the first part, while the latter part, ‘start’, appears to be an old name for the tail feathers.
