Stonechat

Stonechat (Saxicola rubicola) – Westhay Moor, Somerset Levels, UK. ID MG_0368
After my last post about hornets, it was time to recover with pictures of something much friendlier and that does not sting. So this is a rare bird post for me.

I saw these little stonechats on the same visit to Westhay Moor that I found the hornets.
I do not normally photograph smalls as I do not have a very good telephoto lens. But they were very friendly and did not seem to mind me standing only a few feet away.
