Mikepércs: Stonechat

I made a try on a new place again, I expected yellow wagtail on top of a stick where I had observed a few times this bird preening or just sitting there. But I've seen already stonechats and shrikes as well nearby. I got there at around 5 in the morning, when the sun appeared on the horizon. I pushed myself inside my simple and uncomfortable hide quickly and waited. Soon a small bird landed on top of the hide but I couldn't tell what kind of a bird it was. However it appeared soon on the stick in front of me. The sun lighted the brest of the stonechat beautifully:

After two shots it flew off. Later it landed on my hide again, but not in front of me any more.
