The male is the house-hunter but the female will make the final choice. He lands at the hole and turns his head to expose his white cheeks as a signal to attract the female from where she has been feeding. Among many birds that nest in holes, the male has a light-coloured patch on its plumage( 鸟羽 ) which acts as signal for drawing the female ’s attention to a suitable nesting -place. Unlike the blue tit, the redstart( 红尾鸲 ) may be only the male that strikingly coloured and the female is not beautiful. A few years ago I was lucky enough to spot a pair of redstarts in action in a Walsh wood. The male was leading an interested female to holes that he had previously( 先前 ) checked out. He sat at the entrance of each hole and put his head on to show off his white forehead, or his head in to reveal( 显 露 ) his tail. If the female failed to react to his visual signals, the male sometimes sang for extra effect, while gliding towards her on spread wings and tail. Once the female accepts by following the male through the hole the displays stop, you must be at the right place at the right time to watch them. background information( 背景信息 ) ： 红尾鸲 (qu) 亦称红尾鸟。旧大陆的雀形目 (Passeriformes) 鸫科 (Turdidae) 红尾鸲属 (Phoenicurus) 约 11 种鸟 类，或新大陆的 12 种在外形、行为上略近似的鸟类。旧大陆的红尾鸲体长 14 公分 (5.5 吋 ) 。因尾红色而得名， 经常摆动尾部。习性似鶲。普通红尾鸲 (P.phoenic
