It was another bright and sunny day today, such a rarity this winter. I went up to the East Devon pebblebed heath to look for Skylark which I have seen there often but not often close enough for a photograph. I also expected to see Stonechat and so it proved with several pairs seen and photographed.  The bird above is a male and the one below a female.  As for Skylark, I heard and watched several singing birds, always a glorious sound but as I expected, it was almost impossible to get a photograph.
