Stonechats are robin sized birds. Males have striking black heads with white around the side of their neck, orange-red breasts and a mottled brown back. Females lack the male's black head, but have brown backs and an orange tinge to their chests. Birds are frequently seen flicking their wings while perched, often doing so on the tops of low bushes. As its name suggests, birds utter a sharp loud call that sound like two stones being tapped together. They breed in western and southern parts of the UK, but disperse more widely in winter.

The adult male in breeding plumage is easy to identify due to its tricolour plumage, black, white and rufous. The head is almost like wearing a black hood that includes a black eye, bordered with two large white stripes forming a collar.
