European stonechat (male)


Dear friends,
The project with the pair of European stonechat is rewarding. Three evenings were spend in the hide with overcast conditions. Cloudy weather is necessary to render details in their contrast-rich plumage. The birds gave excellent photo opportunities. They are flying their usual rounds in the field from post to post. Every 30-60 minutes they spend a few minutes in front of the hide. Herewith some results of the male bird. Photos of the female will be posted coming weekend.

Hope you enjoy them,
Dirk-Jan
