In the right half of this landscape-aspect image is a golden-brown frond of bracken, rising vertically from the lower edge, bending halfway up its length under the weight of a small bird. It's a female stonechat, about the size and shape of a robin, blending perfectly into the colours and speckled textures of the Autumn bracken frond she perches on. She is in profile facing to the left with her back slightly turned towards the camera so that you can see the tips of both wings, held slightly behind her to aid her balance, along with her tail, which she was bobbing around and flaring while I watched her. She was busy bouncing from frond to frond, to the ground and popping back up again to feed on insects active in the warming sunshine. The background is a blurred mix of grass-green, rusty orange and hazy blue layers of shadow, that hint to a landscape of mixed grassland with bands of bracken crossing horizontally behind the subject. Here's the RSPB's description of a stonechat: Stonechats are robin-sized birds. Males have striking black heads with white around the side of their neck, orange-red breasts and a mottled brown back. Females have brown heads, brown backs and an orange tinge to their chests. Stonechats are frequently seen flicking their wings while perched, often doing so on the tops of low bushes. As its name suggests, these birds utter a sharp loud call that sounds like two stones being tapped together. They breed in western and southern parts of the UK, but spread out more widely in winter.
