Had a lovely encountered with European Stonechat, walking just over the hill in Battlesbury hill, Warminster. A male and female were singing loudly and dancing over the bush. I guess, defending their territory and warning off any uninvited approach. They are really beautiful bird slightly smaller than a Robin. The distinction between male and female is that male has orange-red breast and dark brown back. In short, like in the most birds, males are more colourful, perhaps to attract female in mating season.
Listening carefully, their songs especially last two notes being remarkably similar to two pebbles being knocked together.
