Stonechat maybe?

Stonechat maybe?

Postby Sunset tripper » Thu Jul 29, 2021 1:18 am

This bird followed me for about 100 metres jumping along the bracken tops chattering away. I'm not an expert but maybe a stonechat?
Ps I wasn't jumping along the bracken tops - I was walking on a path beside Loch Hourn. :D
