On my recent travels around Longridge Fell I have come across some stonechats. These beautiful little birds can often be seen perching in prominent positions and announcing their presence with their distinctive calls.<\/p>\n

They are a lovely little bird to photograph and I was lucky to be able to capture some nice images of the stonechats.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The stonechat is the favourite bird of a birdwatching friend and I hope he has a look at my blog and enjoys my efforts with the camera to capture these handsome residents of the fells.<\/p>\n

It is a lovely time to be out and about in our springtime countryside when everything is at it’s best. This has been helped by the wonderful warm and dry conditions of late.<\/p>\n

Lots of insects and grubs this Spring to feed the many little mouths. I have also shown some images of a singing robin, willow warbler, curlew and lapwing.<\/p>\n

The curlew is sadly in decline due mainly to loss of habitat and farming practices. I must say I have noticed a lack of curlews this Spring in my travels. The final images show orange tip butterfly on a dandelion, bluebell and a couple showing the local scenery from Longridge Fell.<\/p>\n

Thanks for looking in and I will be back soon with more from my travels.<\/p>\n
