Time For A Chat

The very poor weather continues and July looks like being just as wet as June. It is once again a very wet day as I write my blog.I am posting a few more images from last week when I managed a couple of trips into Bowland looking for chats.I did get some nice images of the whinchats but the stonechat which was present never came within range of the camera.The stonechat suffered in previous severe winter weather and has been noticeable by it's absence from previous haunts in Bowland.The stonechat images that head this post were taken in a previous summer when numbers of birds present were much higher.They were however taken in the same part of Bowland I visited last week and the male birds shown are a welcome sight and will brighten any day spent in the wilds of Bowland.Thanks for looking in and hope you enjoy my selection.
