Stonechats

Has anybody seen Stonechat this year? I've had a good look round their usual moorland haunts and have failed to find any.

and what about Whinchat?

The few records for Whinchat that I know of in the Penistone/Stocksbridge area are:-
Singles (two) at Whitley Common in late April.
1 at Broadstones Res. on 17th May.
A male holding a breeding territory at Broomhead Moor.
A male holding a breeding territory at Barnside Moor.
Although the records are very sparse indeed they represent an increase of one in the number of breeding territories!
