After seeing so many Hume's, this bird was spotted this morning by my daughter Sarah. I had her on the lookout for a Hooded Wheatear as we drove through the wadi! It was hopping on and off the wall at the side of the road through the village. By now others have also seen it, so hopefully there should be a few more photos soon. Regards, Steve
That's an interesting record, Reza. Can we assume from the photo that it was pretty tame?
Do you know who is releasing these birds, Reza?
To me it looked a wild one. I could go only close to 30m, lone fellow and flew to oblivion and not towards any HH's compounds.
The quill shaft on the outer primary looks to end very abruptly, perhaps suggesting some wing damage.
