To be seen whether they survive this winter and breed once more ... i hope so! Believe it or not Whinchats used to breed at the same location, but not for over a decade now .... even though there are still notice boards alerting the visitor to them!Tim Wardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02245870159697860847noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4864162408204773585.post-78258537038965405542012-12-06T18:48:17.296+00:002012-12-06T18:48:17.296+00:00About 7 years ago when I started birding, Stonecha...About 7 years ago when I started birding, Stonechats would come and winter in Northants from coastal areas etc. I would walk into the carpark of the local reserve and they would be flitting around. About 3 years back they just stopped showing you'd really have to search around the county for just one bird. They still haven't bounced back, glad to see they've started a bit of a recovery around your area.douglas mcfarlanehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12267360351215643395noreply@blogger.com
