It is not so tender as the whinchat, some few of them occasionally stopping in this country all the winter. |
Incidentally we may remark that the whinchat is also a frequenter of the gorse coverts and the moorlands. |
The same is true of the whinchat, and one would scarcely expect to find this bird attacking Buntings as it sometimes does. |
A glance through my binoculars confirmed that it was indeed a whinchat. |
Mr Harvie Brown saw it at Aultbea in 1884, more abundantly than the whinchat. |
The furze-chat, mentioned by C. Brown, is the Saxicola rubetra, commonly also called the whinchat. |
