Whinchat is an uncommon summer vistor to Northern Ireland with birds arriving back on territory at the end of April. It is most often to be found in upland areas often in small valleys with isolated trees. They perch readily on fences and can often be very approachable. The male (pictured above) is a stunning bird and is one of our more colourful summer visitors. The above photograph was taken by Ian Dickey in Co.AntrimWhinchat (photo)
