| Remarks : | This Hume's Wheatear immature was observed in a burrow, on top of a bare rocky hill, being fed by the parents. On my approach, it flew to the adjacent hilltop and appeared in a burrow there. I waited near to the first burrow, waiting for it to return. In less than 10 minutes, it came but it was moving faster than I thought. - KR |
