Black Wheatear
The Black Wheatear is a large, big-headed and deep-chested black wheatear with a broad white rump and black T on white tail. The male is all black whilst the female is more dark brown rather than black.
The Black Wheatear is largely resident and sedentary although partial or total altitudinal migration occurs in some mountain regions. It can be found breeding in holes in rock walls, cliffs and caves in arid, stony plateau country in mountainous regions and along coasts in Spain, Portugal, southern France and north west Africa.
The European breeding population of the Black Wheatear is small and has declined significantly.
