Field Notes
Description:
The Bluethroat is a striking, beautiful species of bird whose main focal point is its clear, bright-blue bib, which is underscored by two stripes; one rust-coloured, the other black. As is typical among birds, it is male Bluethroats that display more extravagant plumage than their female counterparts, whose throats do not feature this blue patch.
Habitat:
n terms of nesting and breeding, Bluethroats produce approximately 1 – 2 broods per year, but no more, each of which consists of between 5 – 7 eggs whose young, once hatched, take around 15 days fully to fledge. The nest is made primarily of moss, twigs, grass and is lined with animal hair and plant down.
