Own every animal of the family Muscicapidae.
Flycatchers, redstarts and nightingales are small insect-eating songbirds of the Old World. Many watch from a perch. They dart out to snatch an insect in mid-air. Several are remarkable singers. Many migrate to Africa or southern Asia for the winter.

Muscicapidae
Phoenicurus ochruros · Least concern
The black redstart breeds in rocky places from the British Isles to central China, yet Britain has only 20 to 50 breeding pairs. It was described in 1774 by Samuel Gottlieb Gmelin. Migrants often hunt flies and tiny crustaceans in the tide-wrack.

Muscicapidae
Monticola solitarius · Least concern
Malta's official national bird is a starling-sized, thrush-like bird: the blue rock thrush. Its scientific name means 'solitary mountain-dweller', and it nests in cavities in rocks and walls.

Muscicapidae
Luscinia svecica · Least concern
Males look very different from region to region, yet genetic studies show all bluethroats are one species. This robin-sized bird, 13 to 14 cm long, breeds in wet birch woods and swamps across Europe and the Palearctic, with a foothold in western Alaska. It winters as far as Africa and India.
