Bluethroat-Luscinia svecica-The Bluethroat is small bird, similar in size to a robin.the Bluethroat is found in North America only on the tundra of Alaska and the Yukon Territory. It is common, however, across Europe and Asia where it is not restricted to tundra habitat.

 The male Bluethroat is quite striking with its blue and red throat and its flashing reddish tail. However, it normally is very secretive and hard to see as it skulks through thick vegetation. It is easy to see only while it is singing or performing flight displays. When seen in the open, it often jerks or holds its tail up and quickly fans it open to flash the rufous patches at the base.

In size they are similar to Robins, around 13 – 14 cm in length, albeit they have evolved somewhat longer and slimmer legs than Erithacus rubecula; and they have a tendency to defend their territories quite aggressively with an emphatic song, and often do so in mid-flight.
