There are now several Stonechats dotted around the trail and this male seems particularly fond of having his picture taken. He has a little filoplume sticking out of the back of his head (possibly a vestige of his juvenile plumage?) and I keep getting sent great shots of him and his other half! They are usually quite near to the visitor centre and can be encountered at the end of the ramp and often towards the Purfleet Hide.
