Der Gartenrotschwanz (Phoenicurus phoenicurus) ist eine Vogelart der Gattung Rotschwänze (Phoenicurus) aus der Familie Fliegenschnäpper (Muscicapidae), früher wurde die Gattung mit anderen schmätzerähnlichen Arten zu den Drosseln (Turdidae) gezählt. Er besiedelt Eurasien ostwärts bis zum Baikalsee sowie Teile Nordafrikas und des Nahen Ostens. Als Höhlen- und Halbhöhlenbrüter bewohnt er vorwiegend lichte Laubwälder, Parkanlagen und Gärten mit altem Baumbestand. Er ist ein Transsaharazieher, der sich schon im Spätsommer auf den Weg in die Winterquartiere macht. Seit Beginn der 1980er Jahre sind die Bestände der Art stark rückläufig, scheinen sich jedoch in den letzten Jahren auf niedrigem Niveau zu stabilisieren. Der Gesamtbestand des Gartenrotschwanzes gilt nicht als gefährdet.[1] Für das Jahr 2011 wurde er zum Vogel des Jahres in Deutschland und Österreich gewählt.[2] In der Schweiz war er 2009 Vogel des Jahres.[3]
The redstart (Phoenicurus phoenicurus) is a species of bird in the genus redstarts (Phoenicurus) from the flycatcher family (Muscicapidae), formerly the genus was counted with other species similar to the thrushes (Turdidae). It inhabits Eurasia eastward to Lake Baikal and parts of North Africa and the Middle East. As cave and semi-cave breeders, it mainly inhabits light deciduous forests, parks and gardens with old trees. It is a trans-Saharan migrant who sets off for winter quarters as early as late summer. Populations of the species have been declining sharply since the early 1980s, but appear to have stabilized at a low level in recent years. The entire stock of redstarts is not considered endangered.[1] For 2011, it was voted bird of the year in Germany and Austria.[2] In Switzerland it was bird of the year in 2009.[3]
Nice to bump into one of these increasingly rare summer migrants during a recent trip to the Peak District :-)
A medium sized hawker flying in late summer to early autumn. It is also called as horsebiter, but that's only a name. They are eating insect such as flying ants.This species may be confused with Aeshna juncea. Feeds mainly in the afternoon and evening. When perched they hang vertically to catch as much sunlight as possible.
The male is brown with blue markings. The female (above) is brown with yellow markings.
Out doing stuff with Charlie, so will catch up from work tonight. Thanks for stopping by and have a great weekend.
The Migrant Hawker is one of the smaller species of hawker dragonflies. It can be found away from water but for breeding it prefers still or slow-flowing water and can tolerate brackish sites. The flight period is from July to the end of October. ''A. mixta'' occurs in North Africa, southern and central Europe to the Baltic region.

One year, possibly even two years. The (first) winter is spent as an egg. Hatching occurs over a long period (no clear peak), from late June to late September.
The larval skins can be found up to several decimeters high on stems of bankside or embankment vegetation.
All kinds of stagnant and slow-flowing, often nutrient-rich and non-acidic waters. In the bankside zone or silted-up vegetation, between plant stems and dead plant material.
The larva can also develop in slightly brackish conditions.
In the Netherlands, the Migrant Hawker breeds in all types of stagnant water, including small and medium-sized ponds, pools, garden ponds, and ditches. It prefers waters with well-developed riparian vegetation, such as broad belts of reeds (Phragmites australis), cattails (Typha sp.), yellow irises (Iris pseudacorus), or rushes (Scirpus sp.), but reproduction also occurs in waters with peat moss (Sphagnum sp.), watermilfoil (Myriophyllum spicatum), and water soldier (Stratiotesaloides). The larvae can even develop in brackish water, such as (former) drinking wells, ponds, and small pools in Zeeland, South Holland, and the Wadden Islands.
Die Traubenhyazinthe kam im 15. Jahrhundert aus der Türkei nach Deutschland. In Unterfranken wird sie "Schlotfeger" genannt.

A male Migrant Hawker seen at the Cotswold Water Park in Gloucestershire on 5th September 2021. This has been spreading northwards; in the United Kingdom this insect was rare until the 1940s when it began migrating from the continent in large numbers. It continues to do so and is now a resident breeding species throughout England and Wales. It reached the Isle of Man in 1998 and Ireland in 2000.
