The Desert Wheatear is a small and beautiful bird found in dry, open areas like deserts and rocky plains. It has a sandy-colored body that helps it blend into its surroundings, with a black tail and wings that stand out. The male usually has a black face and throat, while the female is slightly duller in color. This bird is often seen standing upright on rocks or low bushes, quickly flicking its tail up and down. The Desert Wheatear feeds on insects and small invertebrates, which it catches on the ground. It is a migratory bird, and during winter, it can be spotted in parts of India, especially in Rajasthan and Gujarat.
