Bluebells with ferns now Stonechats! Lovely pics, keep 'em coming
I am not completely sure but that bird has some markings of a whinchat rather than a stonechat.Originally Posted by highlander
They are very similar but the giveaway is the white stripe above the eye
and the lighter patch under the beak.
God, grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change,
Courage to change the things I can,
And wisdom to know the difference.
Thank-you kas and rheghead, i can now see the difference, now i even more delighted to get a photo of stonechat, and a whinchat, but i am so determined to get a photo of a yellowhammer that is teasing me, grrrrrrrrrr!!! lol
Nice photos there. I thought the bird was a juv stonechat. I must go and look up those books. Rheg showing me how it is done.
