Moussier's Redstart is a vibrant and unmistakable North African species, with males boasting a striking combination of black, white, and rufous plumage. It is known for its bold patterns and active behavior.
Where to spot
Endemic to Northwest Africa, found in the Atlas Mountains and coastal plains of Morocco, Algeria, and Tunisia, typically in open woodlands, scrubland, and rocky areas.
How to spot
Look for it perching prominently on rocks, fences, or low shrubs in open, dry habitats. Its distinct pattern and constant tail-flicking are key identification features. Listen for its short, jerky song.
When to spot
Year-round resident in its range, though some local movements may occur. Most easily observed during the breeding season (spring) when males are establishing territories and singing.
