On bicycle tours it is always worthwhile to look out for posts. It is not without risk, however, as fellow cyclists and the path get out of sight ;-).

A stonechat. As it's name suggests, these birds utter a sharp loud call that sounds like two stones being tapped together. They breed in western and southern parts of the UK, but spread out more widely in winter. My new drawing is now available… https://theweeowlart.etsy.com/listing/1707922933
