Photograph Notes: Hearing a chink-chink call I assumed this was a Stonechat but on closer examination it seems to be a Wheatear, Oenanthe oenanthe. The bird's English name is said to derive from its characteristic 'white arse'. Its Latin name, from the Greek oenos/wine,which curiously is also generic name of the poisonous plant Hemlock Water Dropwort, is said to be explained by the fact that the bird appeared, presumably in Mediterranean countries, at the same time as the first shoots on the grapevine.
