These are different Stonechat than the resident birds I observe in the Parkland area.
I have used the heading 'Stonechats at the Mill' so that local birding colleagues will know where I shot these images. This pair were making their way along a stretch of riverbank over a distance of approximately 500 metres, which they appear to be using as their winter territory.

DeleteReally beautiful pictures of the Roodborsttapuit. I hope to meet them again. You have to have a good telephoto lens to get them so beautifully sharp in the picture.
