In Britain, European Stonechats are small birds that perch on low bushes. Males and females differ in head and breast color.
Adult males have a black head, white sides to the neck, and an orange-red breast. Females have brown heads and backs, with a subtler orange breast.
In Britain it occurs along coasts, heathland, and grassland. Some birds migrate to southern Europe and North Africa for winter, while others remain in Britain.
