Wikipedia: The Siberian stonechat or Asian stonechat (Saxicola maurus) is a recently validated species of the Old World flycatcher family (Muscicapidae).
The breeding range covers most of temperate Asia, from about latitude 71°N in Siberia south to the Himalaya and southwest China, and west to eastern Turkey and the Caspian Sea area. It also breeds in the far northeast of Europe, mainly in Russia but occasionally as far west as Finland.
The wintering range of the migratory bird is from southern Japan south to Thailand and India, and west to northeast Africa. On migration, small numbers reach as far west as western Europe, and exceptionally as far east as Alaska in North America.
Conservation status: Least Concern
Ich hatte den Eindruck, dass der Kopf des Schwarzkehlchens etwas dunkler ist als bei unseren, aber ich glaub das ist ein Irrtum, es ist wohl doch identisch mit unseren.
First I thought that the head of the Stonechat is a little bit darker than the head of ours, but I think that was a misstake, now I think it looks identical.
An old world flycatcher and a migratory bird that winters in India from Southern Russia / Mongolia and parts of Central Asia. Its a small bird, maybe 12-14 cms tall and these days, seen in very good numbers across the grasslands and fields.
The male is quite beautiful in these species as in this picture, while the female lacks all the black plumage and sports an pale orangish color. They hunt flies standing on small perches like this and often can be seen on the ground as well. These are generally the earliest migrants and is a key indicator for us to see that the inward migration has started into the country.
Many thanks in advance for your views, faves and feedback.
Siberian stonechat, Saxicola maurus, sepeltasku, photographed in Kitee, Finland.
Thanks to another birder who let me know about his observation and gave me a chance to watch and photograph this rarity.
At first it was thought to be a European stonechat (Saxicola rubicola) but when better views and photos were obtained, attributes of Siberian stonechat were noted: whitish throat and supercilium (area above the eyes), pale underparts, unmarked rump and uppertail-coverts (area above the tail).
Species: Saxicola maurus.
First-winter male.
Location: Ashton's Flash, Cheshire.
Believed to be the first sighting of this species in Cheshire.

The Siberian stonechat is insectivorous. It breeds in open rough scrubland or rough grassland with scattered shrubs, from sea level to about 4,000 m ASL or more. The birds seem to avoid even cool temperate conditions and stay up north only during the hot continental summer. In the montane regions of the Himalaya foothills of Bhutan, migrants can on occasion be seen foraging in fields and pastures more than 2,000 m ASL, but most move further down and south to winter in tropical regions.

This was shot after last summer when there was a partial lockdown. I have not seen this bird perch on leaves before and this is one of the few instances I have seen in any photo. Though I have a large number of Stonechat pictures, this one is unique that it is more of art (IMHO).
There is not much editing in this picture and deliberately focused on the bird while keeping a lot of empty space / bokeh in the picture. The resulting picture is something I am quite happy with.
Many thanks in advance for your views and feedback. Much appreciated.
I sighted two of these species today, this male and a female. Both of them were 2 km apart from each other. And were alone with no other (species) birds around them.
Thanks in advance for your views and comments. Much appreciated.
a record shot of this male migrant here.

The Siberian stonechat or Asian stonechat 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.

This tiny bird flies all the way from Siberia to South Asia. I cannot believe it! Just cannot understand the tenacity, determination of this wonderful bird that makes the perilous journey year after year!
Thanks in Advance for your views / comments. Much appreciated!
A lone bird resting on a rock in an area frequented by predatory birds like Eagles, Ospreys and Harriers. Lucky for it, I didn't notice any predators today.
Thanks in advance for your views and comments. Much appreciated.
