Abstract

In January 1994 observations ofPhoenicurus ochruros on Majorca and investigations of its food indicated that wintering Black Redstarts are not as frequent as expected and show an irregular distribution pattern. Occurrence is concentrated along areas of coastal cliffs chiefly in the NE of the island. The food consists predominantly of small prey and a large portion of vegetable matter (berries of the mastic treePistacia lentiscus). It is presumed that Majorca does not provide attractive food conditions for wintering Black Redstarts.
