Angry Bird 1
I do not know why this European Stonechat looked so upset. Maybe it was all the rain that fell in December.
European Stonechats feed almost entirely on invertebrates such as small to medium-sized insects and larvae. It often hunts from low exposed perch, using the typical “perch-and-pounce” method. It flies down to catch the prey on the ground and returns to the perch, often the same.
This photograph was taken in EVOA on the Tagus Estuary just outside of Lisbon, Portugal.
