🌏 Grey bush chat (Saxicola ferreus) The grey bush chat is a small passerine. Males are predominantly dark grey to black with a prominent white supercilium and white underparts. Females are browner with a buffy supercilium and rufous rump/tail. It is distributed across the Himalayas (from Pakistan to Myanmar), southern China, Taiwan, and mainland Southeast Asia. They inhabit subtropical/tropical moist lowland and montane forests, scrublands, and open areas. Grey bush chats are insectivorous, typically perching on low branches or shrubs and sallying out to catch insects in mid-air or on the ground.

Juvenile #Stonechats are appearing all over the Clwydian Hills at the moment. The adults are very alert and try to draw you way from the youngsters, but sometimes you are allowed a quick photo opportunity! @birdsinwales.bsky.social #birdingWales

One of the tiniest birds in these parts.. the European Stonechat (Saxicola rubicola). This is a male. I always thought it would be much cooler if the scientific name was Saxicola cocacola. 😂😂😂 #BirdingHungary #BirdsSeenin2025 #stonechats #birds #flycatchers
