Nothern Wheateater Juv.  This one was siting on the rock where its parents were watching for prey time to time. It made the final assumption it is a juvenile of theirs.

Breeding takes place generally north of 50° northern latitude in northern Europe and Asia (where it is known as the great grey shrike), and in North America (where it is known as the northern shrike) north of 55° northern latitude in Canada and Alaska. Most populations migrate south in winter to temperate regions. The great grey shrike is carnivorous, with rodents making up over half its diet.  ( Wikipedia ) In the "Red Book" of Ukraine.
