The Afghan Wheatear is a relatively plain species, closely related to the Red-tailed Wheatear but distinguishable by subtle plumage differences. It is a bird of arid, rocky habitats.
Where to spot
Found in Afghanistan, parts of Pakistan, and central Asia, inhabiting arid stony plains, rocky hills, and semi-deserts.
How to spot
Search in open, rocky and arid landscapes. Look for it foraging on the ground or perching on low rocks. Careful observation is needed to distinguish it from similar wheatears, focusing on subtle tail and rump patterns.
When to spot
Year-round resident in its range. Most active during the cooler parts of the day. Best observed during spring when breeding activity is higher.
