The Birding World Archives:

Eastern Stonechats 1984-2020

 

This gallery features all of the Eastern Stonechat photographs submitted to Birding World, plus a few more to 2020, with very grateful thanks to all of the photographers involved.

   

 

 

Many of these photographs have never been published before and it is hoped that this presentation of them all together here will help answer the questions about what did previous birds look like and could some of them perhaps be definitely assigned to either of the forms maura or stejnegeri.

 

 

 

 

The photographs are in chronological order – please just scroll down the page and enjoy.

 

 

 

 

All of these images are copyright. If you would like to copy or use any of them elsewhere, please ask me first – please email stevegantlett@btinternet.com  – and I will try to contact the photographers. I apologise for not contacting all of the photographers in advance, but if any of your photographs appear here and you would rather they did not, please just drop me an email and I will delete them straight away. Alternatively, I will be pleased to amend the credits (eg with a link to your own website).
