(delhibirdpix) Red-tailed Wheatear

Hi All,

Red-tailed Wheatear, Oenanthe chrysopygia on 08Jan2011, near Tal Chappar Wildlife Sanctuary, Rajasthan, India.

Interesting historical (but in some ways timeless) text :
It is absolutely terrene. I never once saw it perch upon any bush or tree. When at rest, it is difiicult even with binoculars to distinguish it from isabelllna, but the moment it flies, its bright rufous, black-tipped tail, betrays its identity (AO Hume-1873, Stray Feathers I, p187).

Chrz,

Devashish
