Stonechat

I had a little drive around the moors of Cheshire at the weekend. I was mainly looking for Golden Plover up above Wildboarclough. I didn't see any, but I did hear one or two. They're quite difficult to pick out against the light grass and heathers and with dull conditions. I'll return at a later date and on a sunnier day to find them.
A little bird did make me pull over as I drove home though. A nice looking male Stonechat. Of course, once parked up and out of the car it took flight. I managed to track it down though, and watched for a few minutes as it flitted about. Great little birds.

  2. They are cracking little birds Adam. There has been a strong passage of them around here in the past two weeks.

    1. Sorry, I had my fingers positioned incorrectly on the keyboard...let me begin again....

      I would like to convey my thanks for your sharing of this wonderful bird and photo today and adding your link at I'd Rather B Birdin'. It's always a pleasure visiting with you. The male is quite handsome and he posed for you so well to show off its colors.
