#stonechat

Nature with Steve

Before photographing the Hare and the Oystercatchers, my brother and I had walked around the headland named Trwyn Cemlyn. Amongst the #birds we saw there, we got particularly good views of one of my favourites—the #Stonechat. This male was very, erm, chatty. The Stonechat makes a call which sounds like two stones being banged together, hence the name. Between one or more of those calls, a short whistle may be added.

A male Stonechat, perched on top of a Gorse bush. His body, Robin-like in size and shape, is facing us, and his head is turned to the right of the picture. His head, including his beak (which is open) and eye, is black; his throat is also black but on either side of his neck he has a white 'collar'. What we can see of his shoulders are also dark in colour, but his chest and most of his belly are a reddish orange colour. His legs and feet are black. The background is blue in colour, thanks to the sea rather than the sky.
