European Stonechat (Saxicola rubicola)

Shropshire Hills AONB, Shropshire, UK.

Adult male. Although not as bright as in a months time when excessive wear reveals the brighter black white and orange popularly portayed in field guides this is when they are at their smartest, subtle tones but feather perfect. It is also at this time of year when you can catch the first summer birds before the local ringing / banding group turn up and clamp them in leg irons plus additional 'bling'.
