The whinchat is a solitary species, favouring open grassy country with rough vegetation and scattered small shrubs. It perches in elevated locations ready to pounce on the insects and other small invertebrates that form its diet. The nest is built by the female on the ground in coarse vegetation, with a clutch of four to seven eggs being laid. The hen incubates the eggs for about thirteen days and then both parents feed the nestlings. Fledging takes place about eighteen days after hatching and the parents continue to feed the young for another fortnight. Unfortunately, their numbers are decreasing rapidly.

Heel mooi Joop en ja ik ben zelf niet zo ingeschoten met betrekking tot het fotograferen van vogels, maar het beste resultaat van oa de lepelaar in vlucht heb ik manual focus gedaan

Ik haal deze later weg, maar ik vond het leuk even te plaatsen omdat deze vogel momenteel zeer zeldzaam is in Nederland.
