	British Garden Birds - Whinchat
		The Whinchat is a bird of the heath and similar to the darker, plumper Stonechat.
		Whinchats feed on insects and their larvae, but also seeds and berries.
		The Whinchat is a moor land bird and so it was a great surprise to see a pair - male and female - in the garden with three more birds perched in neighbours' trees.

	Chats in South Cumbria (Site not responding. Last check: )
		It's a place which teams with birdlife in the spring; the calls of cuckoos, ravens and buzzards echo across the wide open spaces, but it is the return of the songbirds that I await with interest each year.
		Whinchats are later arrivals in early to mid-May. Each announces its presence with a flick of the tail and the characteristic hard chak or chat call.
		The advantage of the open country chosen by these species for breeding is that it is easier to watch the behaviour of juvenile birds and compare their plumage with that of the adult than it is for many other species.

	Saxicola rubetra
		Whinchats are most often seen sitting attractively on posts, wires or the tops of tall stalks of bracken or other vegetation.
		Their plump outline, upright posture and orangy underparts may be suggestive of Stonechat but, in all plumages, they have a broad pale supercilium and streaky brown mantle more reminiscent of a Sedge Warbler.
		Whinchats also have pale white patches at the base of the tail which are diagnostic but hard to see.

		The whimbrel is a bird of the plover group, closely related to and resembling the curlew, but considerably smaller and breeding in Great Britain in the Orkneys and Shetland.
		The whinchat (Pratincola rubetra) is a bird nearly allied to the stonechat, which it generally resembles in colour.
		It is a summer visitor to Britain, wintering in Africa, and is found chiefly on warm sunny heaths where there is undergrowth, but also in grassy meadows whence its other name of grasschat.

		It breeds less successfully and less rapidly than the Stonechat whose winter survival is much worse - because it does not migrate far enough to escape the cold.
		The Whinchat is a smart tweedy bird with a white wing patch seen in flight on the inner wing and a much smaller one on the outer edge - and more at the base of the tail on the edges.
		Its underparts are pale orange and it has white moustachial and supercilliary - separated by a dark brown area.

	Whinchat
		The whinchat is a summer visitor to Britain that begins arriving from its African wintering grounds during April.
		Upland areas rich in cover provide the most suitable habitat for this species, and they can usually be seen around moorland edges, rough grassland sites, and railway embankments, basically anywhere that offers plenty of scrubby coverage.
		Quite a distinctive bird, whinchats possess dark brown upperparts, an orange breast and a white line above the eye.
