| Forays off the beaten path led me to a common stonechat, a white wagtail, a plain leaf warbler, and a number of species in the shrike family. |
|
| In the low Syrian Mesquite bushes we found a stonechat and a few white wagtails running around. |
|
| This companionship extended into early summer when the stonechat family was fed both in and out of the nest by the lonely Dartford. |
|
| Tritiated corticosterone was used to determine how one male and one female stonechat metabolize and excrete that steroid. |
|
| A stonechat was chirruping loudly as we wound our way through the wild geraniums and delicate little early purple orchids. |
|
| Natural vegetation would be grassland and shrub. Amongst the birds the red-backed shrike and the stonechat are important resident species. |
|
| Birds species include linnet, nightjar, skylark, stonechat, and yellowhammer. |
|
| Returning to the car park above Dunwich cliffs, the trail traverses the gorse-rich territories of a pair or two of stonechat. |
|
| En route we were entertained by a stonechat chinking away as it perched on a tall bracken frond. |
|
| Birds seen on the moor include merlin, peregrine falcon, Eurasian curlew, European stonechat, dipper, Dartford warbler and ring ouzel. |
|
| No other British bird has quite such a military bearing: perched upright like a colonel on parade, with its slender figure and creamy eyestripe setting it apart from its cousin the stonechat. |
|
| The stonechat, mistle thrush and swallow have also recorded significant reductions in sightings. |
|
| These include the linnet, Dartford warbler, stonechat, meadow pipit, skylark, goldfinch, bullfinch, hedge sparrow, grey partridge and yellowhammer. |
