Breeds in Turkey, the Caucasus, and parts of the Middle East and Central Asia. Winters in northeastern Africa and Arabia. Found in dry, stony hillsides and steppe.
How to spot
Look for it foraging on the ground in open, stony areas. Its pale, unstreaked plumage is distinctive. Listen for its simple song often given from a low perch.
When to spot
Best observed during the breeding season (spring to early summer) when males are singing. Migration periods (spring/autumn) can also yield sightings.
