Re: On the patch
So! I've been looking at those pics I mentioned about a year ago ;)
Flycatcher or Stonechat youngsters?

I'm now thinking they might be young Stonechat? Anyone?scozmos wrote: Thu Jun 19, 2025 4:27 pm Been a good day, on the patch and out and about. I set off for one of my reservoir walks this morning, drove down the lane and at the bottom I spotted a small flock of birds keeping ahead but landing often so, I stopped and grabbed a few shots.
Came back from the walk and uploaded the photos to find I'd got a Spotted Flycatcher and youngsters, I think. the youngster shot was through the car windscreen but I think it is a young SF!!! Woop woopphotos to follow
