Blue-capped Redstart (Phoenicurus caeruleocephalus)
Sunny morning. The outing to the same places were I was in Sunday with the intent to shot the male Blue-capped Redstart. Redstart was in same place when I saw it two day ago. Probably this place will be comfortable to nesting; there are three high spruce-trees, thickets, river and stones. But unfortunately my attempts to close to Redstart were unsuccessful, bird didn't allow me to close less that 15 meters. On my oncoming Redstart flew in spruce tree, perched on attitude about 5-6 meters and sang his song. So I couldn't make good shots.

The most popular today's bird is Black-throated Accentor. It is most visible and hearable too. It is interesting that Black-throated Accentors sing only perched on branch of tree or bush but never on stone. Grey-headed Goldfinches formed pairs and run one to another, but some of them fly with fuzz in beak, possibly to nest building. Today I saw Blackbirds, so I was right when I proposed that I heard them songs. Blackbirds both male and female flew in one spruce tree, probably to them nest. Also I saw pair of Mistle Thrushes, Long-legged Buzzard, Nutcrackers, Wren under same bush roots, and flock of Chaffinches in the garden.
