European Stonechat in Eclipse Plumage

I captured European stonechat in eclipse plumage at Malam Jabba in June 2024. European stonechat is one of rare bird to spot in Pakistan. It is robin size bird but very active during the day.A small passerine bird Old World flycatcher family, Muscicapidae. The stonechat is 11.5–13 cm long and weighs 13–17 grams, slightly smaller than the European robin.The male's bird song is sweat high and twittering like a dunnock. Both male and female have a clicking call like stones knocking together.
