In the stunning Sierra de Grazalema Natural Park, these beautiful birds are often spotted perched on thistles and frozen branches.

During springtime in Arcos de la Frontera, an entrancing finalist photograph from the Vogelwarte Photography Competition showcases a male stonechat elegantly perched amidst a wheat field.
