The  spotted flycatcher  ( Muscicapa striata ) is a small  passerine  bird in the  Old World flycatcher  family. This is an undistinguished looking bird with long wings and tail. The adults have grey-brown upperparts and whitish underparts, with some streaking on the breast. The legs are short and black, and the bill is black and has the broad but pointed shape typical of aerial insectivores. Juveniles are browner than adults and show the spots on the upperparts which give this species its name.

One of latest photos taken with my Sigma APO DG EF 70-300mm f4.0-5.6 lens. Shrike was sitting relatively far from me on a branch. I have got a decent sharpness however. Flickr version: Canon 6D,  Sigma APO DG EF 70-300mm f4.0-5.6 , at 300mm, ISO160, 1/640, ƒ/5.6 

This one appeared against me while a normal ride to the country to get some fresh farm food. I was carrying camera in my hands all preset and have made a shot. Crop: Full flickr version: Canon 6D, Sigma APO DG EF 70-300mm f4.0-5.6, at 300mm, ISO100, 1/250, f5.6 

This one was sitting and watching me crawling to get to proper position of capturing.

It builds a cup  nest  from mud pellets in barns or similar structures and feeds on insects caught in flight.   This species lives in close association with humans, and its insect-eating habits mean that it is tolerated by man; this acceptance was reinforced in the past by superstitions regarding the bird and its nest. There are frequent cultural references to the barn swallow in literary and religious works due to both its living in close proximity to humans and its annual migration.
