Stonechat juvenile - Beeley Moor

It's been a poor breeding year locally for the Stonechat. At the start of the breeding season I had three possible nesting pairs but I have only seen one brood of youngsters. I saw two juveniles with the adult male this morning. Ken had thought that the whole brood had been predated but at least two have survived.
I've removed a strand of barbed wire which crossed the photo, it was also very misty this morning when I took the photo so I have removed that also! The wonders of modern photography.
