Spotted
Heuglin's Wheatear is a species of sub-Saharan Africa, often considered a subspecies of the Northern Wheatear by some authorities. It is characterized by its pale, sandy plumage and dark tail.
Where to spot
Found in a band across the Sahel region of Africa, from Senegal to Sudan, inhabiting dry savanna, grasslands, and semi-deserts.
How to spot
Look for it on open, sparsely vegetated plains. It typically perches on low mounds or rocks. Its pale, sandy plumage and dark tail (with white rump typical of wheatears) are identification cues.
When to spot
Year-round resident. Active throughout the day, often seen foraging on open ground.
This wheatear is named after Theodor von Heuglin, a German explorer and ornithologist who extensively studied African birdlife.
