European stonechat
My prize of the wooden post lottery. I sat on the ground on a dirt track at the edge of highly grown soy. On the opposite side is a cattle fence with dozens of wooden posts, about 200 meters long. The scs, they could not see me in the shadow of the soy plants, were hunting and sometimes returning to the posts. This female perched on a post very close to me and .... she did not fly off. Unbelievable but true. No camo needed. At least one female that stayed with me. 🤣
