Short Description:

Northern Wheatear (Oenanthe oenanthe) is a migratory bird species found in Pakistan during its wintering season. These birds are characterized by their striking black-and-white plumage with a distinctive white rump. They primarily inhabit open, arid landscapes such as rocky hillsides, grasslands, and agricultural fields.

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

During the winter months, Northern Wheatears can be found in various parts of Pakistan, particularly in the southern and western regions. They migrate from their breeding grounds in Europe and Central Asia to spend the winter in warmer climates like Pakistan.

Northern Wheatears are typically solitary birds, although they may form loose flocks during migration. They forage on the ground, hopping and running to catch insects and other invertebrates. They are known for their distinctive tail-wagging behavior while perched.
