[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
I have taken this shot in Tandureh national park in NE of Iran .The White-throated Robin (Irania gutturalis) is a small passerine bird that was formerly classed as a member of the thrush family Turdidae, but is now more generally considered to be an Old World flycatcher, family Muscicapidae. It, and similar small European species, are often called chats.

It is a migratory insectivorous species breeding in south west Asia from Turkey to Afghanistan and wintering in east Africa. This species is a very rare vagrant to Europe.

It breeds in dry rocky slopes with some bushes, often at some altitude. The White-throated Robin nests in a shrub, laying 4-5 eggs.

This species is larger than the European Robin. The breeding male has lead-grey upperparts, a black face with a white throat and supercilium, and orange underparts. The tail is black, as is the strong bill. The male's song is a fast twittering given from a bush or in flight. The call of this species is a chis-it like Pied Wagtail.

Females are plainer, mainly grey apart from a black tail, hints of orange on the flanks, and some white throat streaks.

Hi Seyed,

Nice picture, i like the composition. At my first sight i thought the picture had taken to much light but not, it's the normal colours of the bird. Good Shot. TFS.

Hallo Seyed
Fantastic portrait with excellent detail, perfect colours and depth of field with not a hint of noise anywhere. Excellent framing and superb focus. The different layers of colours and markings in the plumage are just great. I like the white stripe just above the eye. The composition and pose is stunning. I also fancy the flash light you captured in the eye. Thanks for sharing this delightful photo.
Best regards
Anna

Merhaba Babak,
Çok başarılı bir kuş karesi. Renkler ve kompozisyon nefis. Ancak çerçeve için aynı şetleri söylemek mümkün değil. Kuşdan daha önemli olduğunu söyler gibi göze batıyor.
İyi çalışmalar.
Hüseyin
