One
of many species of wheatears to be found in the rocky deserts of north Africa
and the Middle East, the White-crowned Black
Wheatear is most at home in hilly wadis and other rocky desert slopes.
Note that immature White-crowns do NOT have a white crown (see inset of adult
feeding juvemile), and thus resemble Black Wheatear (which also occurs in
Morocco) - look for the solid white outer tail feathers in White-crowned
(obvious black terminal band present in Black Wheatear, which is also a more
sooty black). | |
