The Stonechat is the magazine of the Ayrshire branch of the SOC. It is now being edited by Tony Scott and is available now for download in lovely colour. This edition covers the Branch helping celebrate the 75th anniversary of the SOC with a project to encourage young children to watch birds; the first in a new series by Angus Hogg on getting the most out of birding locations; a detailed, envy-invoking report on recent trips by Ayrshire Birders Abroad; and the latest news.
