Birdwatching in Luxembourg

Chats

Black Redstart

The UK has a small resident breeding population of black redstarts supplemented annually by passage migrants, overwintering birds and summer breeders. Often at home as a city dweller choosing derelict sites, old buildings and industrial areas, the black redstart will also choose cliff ledges, gorges, rock and scree habitats.

Grouse

Black Grouse

One of the larger members of the grouse family with seven sub-species, the black grouse, whilst categorised as vulnerable within Europe, is stable throughout its Asian areas of occupation.

Herons, storks and ibises

Bittern

One of the rarest breeding birds in the UK, a secretive and difficult to see member of the heron family.

Warblers

Aquatic Warbler

Aquatic Warblers are rare but regular passage migrants to northwest Europe in the autumn.

Owls

Barn Owl

Heart-shaped face and dark eyes belie a silent killer.
