| Stonechat with lunch |
A bird that was pretty common on my recent trip to Ashdown Forest was the Stonechat. Mike and I saw a number of these birds, male (as in the above photo), female and plenty of juveniles. This is a bird that I used to see regularly in the Peterborough area, but their numbers seem to have fallen somewhat and it has been a couple of years since I have seen one locally. It was pleasing to see such good numbers, maybe this year I will be able to add one to my PBC year list, fingers crossed!
Nice to see one of my regulars. Hope you get a patch sighting soon John.
ReplyDeleteLucky you, having them as regulars Frank! Hopefully it won't be too long!

That's pretty meagre lunch!

If you were a Stonechat it would do for a bit, possibly!

Nice shot John. Yes, I use to see them regularly along the river at Deeping High Bank, but not seen any for several years now.
ReplyDeleteThanks Roy! Yes, used to see them regularly at Central Drove, Nene Washes, but with the floods the last couple of winters, there just haven't been any!
