Wheatears, Riyadh, Saudi Arabia
We can get 11 different types of wheatear here at this time of year. I've seen 9 and am getting a lot of practice!
However I am not so good with female wheatears. Here are two from this week. Both were taken in fairly dry areas (not in fields). I think Wheatear A is possibly a female pied but wheatear B has got me stumped. Any help gratefully appreciated Rob www.birdingforalark.blogspot.com |

Hi Rob,
the bird A is indeed a Pied Weathear, and the bird B looks good for this specie too. Don't you have pictures showing the tail? PS: Neil was faster :-) Last edited by Troglodyte : Saturday 10th March 2012 at 08:01. |

Thanks for both replies. Sorry I don't have any pictures of the tail on B. I'm happy to conclude they are both pied. I'm getting a lot of exposure to this particular wheatear at the moment.
