      Indeed! I've never seen them on their Middle Eastern breeding grounds, so it was fun to see this species in its winter abode. Posted 2 years ago

The White-throated robin

The white-throated robin, or irania, is a small, sexually dimorphic, migratory passerine bird. The vernacular and genus name "Irania" alludes to Iran, its type locality, while the specific name "gutturalis" is Medieval Latin for "of the throat". It breeds in western Asia and overwinters in East Africa.
