hi chocky,
the birds you have captured are infact two stonechats.
they are lovely little birds. you do tend to see them in pairs. they often perch up obligingly to give good views. you can attract them closer to you by gently tapping two small stones together, as this mimics a sound they make!!
regards, andrew.
