06/11/2017 at Kabd Reserve

At midday I went to Kabd Reserve to see who won the territory, the Desert Wheatear or Red-tailed Wheatear. They were competing on the territory and perch, I wished the Red-tailed Wheatear would win as it the scarer one. But today unfortunately the Red-tailed Wheatear has given up the territory! What a shame.
