Stonechat at Stoke Common

At walk around Stoke in search of heathland birds was difficult.  There were certainly quite a few Whitethroats and Skylarks around, plus a couple of Willow Warblers along the west side of the common.  However I did come across two Stonechats, one a male shown below and another bird which could have been a female or a juvenile.  It seems likely that the birds have bred here or are attempting to.





A short video clip of the male.
