On our walks along the clifftop during May there’s been a couple of Stonechats that have obviously been holding territory in one of the hedgerows. As we stood on the clifftop looking at the sea, if we were quite still, they’d come alongside us to forage.

The short sharp chacking call of a Stonechat is never too difficult to hear in Norfolk. The heaths and coastal dunes hold pairs which although moderately dispersal never roam too far. On a tour the other week we watched this bird hawking insects from atop a bramble and being very successful too.
