Wheatear

The Wheatear in Ancient Egypt

A number of species of this family live in or pass through Egypt on their migrations, such as the Hooded Wheatear, White-crowned Wheatear, Finsch's Wheatear, Red-rumped Wheatear, Pied Wheatear, Mourning Wheatear, and the Blackstart. In ancient Egyptian art, wheatears are occasionally pictured in fowling scenes.
