Short Description:

Isabelline Wheatear (Oenanthe isabellina) is a small migratory bird species found in Pakistan. It has a sandy-brown plumage with a pale throat and breast. This bird species is primarily found in open, arid habitats such as deserts, scrublands, and semi-desert areas.

Far far away, behind the word mountains, far from the countries Vokalia and Consonantia, there live the blind texts. Separated they live in Bookmarksgrove right at the coast

Isabelline Wheatears are commonly distributed throughout Pakistan, particularly in the western and northern regions including Balochistan, Sindh, Punjab, and Khyber Pakhtunkhwa provinces. They can also be spotted in the foothills of the Himalayas.

These wheatears are known for their ground-dwelling behavior, often seen perching on rocks or low vegetation while foraging for insects. During migration, they may form loose flocks. Isabelline Wheatears are typically solitary breeders, nesting in rock crevices or burrows.
