This is the rarest of all the known species of Eedstarts. 
M. Giildenstadt informs us " that it frequents the gravelly hollows 
of the Caucasian torrents during the whole of the summer, and 
migrates southward in search of food on the approach of winter ; 
and that it runs along the banks of rivers ; is restless, but not 
fearful ; often moves its tail while sitting on the low shrubs, and 
makes its nest among the branches of the sea buckthorn, of the 
berries of which it is very fond."
