The Siberian Stonechat is a resident and a winter visitor to India. During our visit to Nameri and Kaziranga Wildlife Sanctuaries, we saw many of them, but found it was quite challenging to get close and photograph them.
But we did get lucky on a couple of occasions. Once we found a male in breeding plummage on the river bank in Nameri Wildlife Sanctuary. Then again while in Kaziranga Wildlife Sanctuary, during one of the safaris we saw a beautiful female who came and sat on a perch close to our Jeep. All images were taken with our trusted D300, 300mm f2.8 with 2x TC setup.

Beautiful series of portraits.
It's not easy to take pictures like these.
Not easy at all.
Beautiful birds and do you not just love how the backgrounds fade into their own watercolour type backdrop, to allow your subjects even greater clarity... very nice, as always~
thanks for opening my eyes to a whole new world of birds...wonderful, sweet Siberian Stonechat...

The European Stonechat is a lot more tolerant of humans and is rather like our Robin.

I love the way you have really singled out this beautiful by having such a gorgeously simplified background.
Some beautiful photos and well achieved.

Thomas so adorable. I like small birds. Anna :)
marvelous~~!!!!
Truly amazing photographs. I especially like the lighting in the first photo, and the gleam in the eve, but I would be proud of any of them.
Excellent captures for such a wee bird. I like the distinctive colouration of their feathers.
