	Stonechat
		The Stonechat Saxicola torquata is a member of the Thrush family Turdidae.
		It is a partially migratory insectivorous species, but the European race rubicola is resident in the milder south and west of its range.
		Stonechat is similar in size to the European Robin.

	European Stonechats (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		The European Stonechat Saxicola rubicola is a small passerine bird that was formerly classed as a member of the thrush family Turdidae but is now more generally considered to be an Old World flycatcher, family Muscicapidae.
		European Stonechats breed in heathland, coastal dunes and rough grassland with scattered small shrubs and bramble, open gorse, tussocks or heather.
		The European Stonechat is somewhat smaller than the European Robin.

		Its European breeding population is relatively small (25,000+ pairs), and was stable between 1970 and 1990.
		Although Stonechat declined in a few countries during 1990?2000, the majority of European populations increased or were stable (trends were not known for Spain or Russia), and it underwent a moderate increase overall.
		European breeding population is large (300,000+ pairs), and increased substantially between 1970 and 1990.

	Fuerteventura Chats
		The Fuerteventura Chat (Saxicola dacotiae) is a small passerine bird that was formerly classed as a member of the thrush family Turdidae, but is now more generally considered to be an Old World flycatcher, Muscicapidae.
		It, and similar small European species, are often called chats.
		The Fuerteventura Chat is similar in size to the European Robin.

	Resident birds display migratory restlessness
		European stonechats are short-distance, nocturnal migrators that begin their journey when daylight lasts just over 12 hours.
		One group of these birds was held for the duration of a migratory period under the nearly equal light and dark conditions of their native habitat, and a subset remained under these conditions for a year and a half.
		The African birds' migratory restlessness, marked by repeated, spontaneous outbursts of nocturnal activity, echoed that seen in European stonechats, though it was less pronounced.

		Males have striking fl heads with white around the side of their neck, orange-red breasts and a mottled brown back.
		Although the species is not faring too badly in the UK, it is doing less well on the continent and is of European conservation concern, making it an Amber List species.
		Stonechats nest on the ground (occasionally higher) in vegetation or under gorse bushes on lowland heaths, gorse rich coastal sites or new conifer plantations.

		Of the 120 bird species found in the zapovednik, 80 build their nests in the reserve, while the other 40 fly through during annual migrations or spend the winter.
		The ortolan bunting (Emberiza hortulana), European stonechat (Saxicola torquata), skylark (Alauda arvensis), and horned lark (Eremophila alpestris) are quite common throughout the territory of the reserve.
		Meanwhile, the hazel grouse (Bonasa bonasia), European nuthatch (Sitta europaea), and Eurasian nutcracker (Nucifraga caryocatactes) are already busy at work tending their nests.

	Flickr: Field Guide: Birds of the World [PLEASE READ RULES!]
		Clement's has split what was once "Common Stonechat" Saxicola torquata into several species but whereas most authorities have retained torquata for the European Stonechat, Clements has used this for African Stonechat.
		As most people in Europe know their Stonechat as Saxicola torquata not Saxicola rubicola as Clements calls it, most of us have tagged our European Stonechats with the scientific name that Clements uses for African Stonechat.
		It's no problem adding the Saxicola rubicola tags to the European Stonechats in the pool, but removing the Saxicola torquata tags to prevent them showing up on an African Stonechat search is a problem.

	Saxicola torquata
		Male Stonechats, especially in spring are unmistakable, with their tricoloured plumage: fl heads, orange breasts and big white blobs on the sides of the neck.
		The same pattern can just about be seen on females and juveniles but they are brown not fl on the head and upperparts and the orange and white areas are much less pronounced.
		Siberian Stonechats (of the race S.t.maura) are annual vagrants, mainly in the autumn on the east coast.

		Musselburgh, on the eastern edge of Edinburgh, can be excellent for grebes, divers, seaducks and auks in winter, but was relatively disappointing today, partly because I was running behind schedule by the time I got there and had to truncate my visit as a result.
		There had also been a fall of European robins, which were 'ticking' everywhere in the bushes, and a substantial number of Eurasian flbirds had also arrived.
		A common (European) stonechat was singing and generally making a nuisance of itself near the car.

		European Stonechat, Siberian Stonechat and African Stonechat S torquata are specifically distinct (cf Sibley 1996) based on qualitative differences in morphology (Cramp 1988, Svensson 1992) and phylogeographic analysis (Wittmann et al 1995).
		European Reed Warbler, Mangrove Reed Warbler A avicenniae, African Reed Warbler A baeticatus and Caspian Reed Warbler A fuscus are specifically distinct (cf Leisler et al 1997, Sangster 1997) based on qualitative differences in morphology (Pearson 1981, Ash et al 1989, Harris et al 1995).
		Phylogenetic analysis of mitochondrial DNA sequences indicates that Mangrove Reed Warbler, which is currently regarded as a subspecies of A baeticatus, is actually more closely related to European Reed Warbler, and that European and Caspian Reed Warbler, until recently regarded as subspecies of A scirpaceus, are not sister-taxa (Leisler et al 1997).

		The genus Saxicola, the stonechats or chats, is a genus of 14 species of small passerine birds restricted to the Old World.
		Genetic evidence presented in the recent monograph by Urquhart & Bowley 2002 strongly supports the splitting of the Common Stonechat (Saxicola torquata sensu lato) into three species, African Stonechat (S. torquata), European Stonechat (S. rubicola) and Asian Stonechat (S. maura).
		This treatment is likely to become standard in the future.
