The Isabelline Wheatear (Oenanthe isabellina) is a graceful migratory songbird that breeds across the steppes and semi-arid regions of Central Asia and Eastern Europe, and winters in parts of East Africa and the Middle East, including the Arabian Peninsula. Recognizable by its sandy-beige plumage, pale underparts, and upright posture, it blends seamlessly into arid, open landscapes. This species is often seen perched on rocks or small mounds, scanning for insects and other small invertebrates. It is known for its long-distance migratory journeys and is a regular passage migrant in the UAE, particularly during spring and autumn. The Isabelline Wheatear is a ground-nesting bird, and its subtle beauty and adaptability to harsh environments make it a fascinating subject for birdwatchers and photographers alike.
