It comes to Japan for the winter and can be seen in places from towns to mountain woods, farmland, parks and riverbanks.
The male is boldly colored in black and orange with a white patch on each wing. The female has the white patches too, but is brown overall.
It is fiercely territorial and sometimes attacks its own reflection in roadside or car mirrors.
How the Daurian redstart lives
Soon after arriving on migration, it calls from high places. It eats insects, earthworms and spiders, as well as berries and other tree fruits.
