These little birds provoked much excitement in my walking partner on a fine September morning’s fen raft spider survey. She tends to hit people when excited but I got away lightly and unbruised. The reason for her excitement was thinking we might have seen Whinchats. Close examination of my pics confirmed they are Stonechats. Me, I wouldn’t know the difference if they flew up my nostrils. But this page should help me learn a thing or two.
A rather pretty moth, unusual in that it rolls its wings up to make a “T” shape when at rest. This one was on my kitchen window, narrowly avoiding becoming Desdemona’s next meal (see above).
