Acerca de
El alcaudón dorsirrojo (unos 28 g) es uno de los páridos más pequeños de Europa. El macho es muy vistoso con su cabeza grisácea, dorso castaño y máscara negra. Como todos los alcaudones, caza insectos, lagartos y pequeños mamíferos y los ensarta en espinas o alambre de espino para almacenarlos —formando una 'despensa'— o comerlos más tarde. Ha sufrido un grave declive en Europa occidental por la pérdida de setos con espinos y la reducción de insectos por el uso de pesticidas. Migra al África austral.
