THE WHINCHAT, ' . 
The young Whinchats in the picture are from life ; the old birds (male above, 
female below) are from fresh specimens. 
Whinchats are common at Eoshven among the whin (furze) which thrives 
particularly well in some parts of the low ground near the sea. 
Wheatears are more numerous, Stonechats not so numerous with us.
