| We tested one further antibody that has been successfully used in geese but it did not give satisfying results in stonechats. |
| Plenty stonechats, whinchats, wheatear, both adults and young were abundant in numbers. |
| Other observed birds were spotted redshanks, ruffs, red-wattled lapwings, and collared stonechats. |
| On occasions woodchats have been known to plunder the nests of other birds, which may explain the anxiety of a pair of stonechats nearby. |
| I saw half a dozen stonechats scattered singly or in pairs along a mile stretch of the fenceline. |
| Experiments were carried out end of April and June 2000, when gonads of the stonechats were fully developed. |
