An interesting young Stonechat on the hill today attracted Tony W, Alan and myself up there to take a look.
In the prevailing light conditions it was a rather grey looking bird reminding Tony of a Flycatcher initially.
Never really got very close to us but seen in the middle distance was thought by us to be another Redstart. However it has been pointed out that the bird is actually a juv Stonechat. Should pay more attention to the plumage details which on closer inspection tells it all.
A single Lesser Blackback Gull and a Herring Gull flew overhead late afternoon.
