First impressions can be deceiving, in the poor light and from a distance I initially believed the bird in the first picture to be a robin but as I got closer I realised that it was in fact a female Stonechat. She didn't sit around for long so I was pleased to be able to get this shot , it is not the sharpest image but it is a really cute pose.
Nearby was the more brightly coloured male, perhaps they were a breeding pair who can say, they did fly off together...
These lovely birds were spotted at Lunt Meadows nature reserve, it was my first visit there and although it was very dull and grey it was still a worthwhile visit and no doubt I will be back.
