Looks like a Black Redstart. Seems apt in the setting with it's rusty coloured tail ;)
 
I guess it is the same barbed-wire of the Stonechat pic... seems a very popular perch for you birds, uh? ;) Lovely too this one, Simon! :t: :t: :t:
 
Thanks Marian, Yes its the same place its right in front of my house. Behind it is a green area so they come underneath it and first stage before there flight is many times on this wire, also its the nearest to me they can get and the best background is there in my opinion. Its a waiting process.
