A quick morning chat.. with the Siberian Stonechat :)

The Siberian stonechat or Asian stonechat (Saxicola maurus) is a recently validated species of the Old World flycatcher family (Muscicapidae). Like the other thrush-like flycatchers, it was often placed in the Turdidae in the past. It breeds in temperate Asia and easternmost Europe and winters in the Old World tropics.

 

Here's a shot of it in Goa, India where it comes as a winter migrant and then flies back in spring.
