Rufous-tailed Scrub Robin

The rufous-tailed scrub robin is a medium-sized member of the family Muscicapidae. It breeds around the Mediterranean and east to Pakistan. It also breeds south of the Sahara from the Sahel region east to Somalia; these African birds are sometimes considered to be a separate species, the African scrub robin. It is partially migratory, wintering in Africa and India. This is a very rare visitor to northern Europe.
