Tas Bulbulu (Irania gutturalis)
This species is larger than the European Robin, having a length of 16 centimeters (6.3 in) and a wingspan of 28 centimeters (11 in).[2] The breeding male has lead-grey upper-parts, a black face with a white throat and super-cilium, 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. 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 will also eat fruit during the autumn. It breeds in dry rocky slopes with some bushes, often at some altitude. The White-throat Robin nests in a shrub, laying 4-5 eggs.
