We still have three pair of Stonechats out on the trail but I suspect that most will soon depart and head off to their breeding sites. We know for a fact that at least one colour-ringed bird was commuting from its natal ground on the Norfolk coast to our reserve. It would be nice if one or two pair stay to breed and the piece of Rainham West closest to the road is often a good bet later in the season..
