Rüppell's Wheatear is a distinctive species of dry, rocky habitats, named after the German naturalist Eduard Rüppell. Males have a black face mask, white supercilium, and grey upperparts with a black tail.
Where to spot
Found in arid and semi-arid regions of Northeast Africa and the Arabian Peninsula, inhabiting rocky deserts, wadis, and stony plains.
How to spot
Search in rocky, desolate areas. Look for it perching on prominent rocks or foraging on the ground. The male's white supercilium (eyebrow) and black face mask are good indicators. Watch for its characteristic tail flicking.
When to spot
Year-round resident in its range. Most active during the cooler parts of the day, particularly mornings and late afternoons.
