[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
EUROPEAN STONECHAT (SAXICOLA TORQUATA)

The Stonechat breeds in western, central and southern Europe, much of Asia north of the Himalayas and in sub-Saharan Africa. It is partly migratory with, for example, the more northerly breeding populations in Europe migrating to the Mediterranean Basin during the winter.

Its breeding habitat is open areas with scrubby, low vegetation such as heather or gorse.
It feeds on insects and other invertebrates as well as berries. It looks for its prey from a suitable high perch to which it often returns after capturing its prey.

Plumage is varied between sexes and throughout the year. The male Stonechat shows a black head.

Hi Marius . This is very fine close up of the Stonechat. Which you have taken with fine detail and sharp focusing. I like the side POV at eye level. Your use of the light has given natural colours. well done TFS.
