(Rufous-tailed) Rock Thrush
Monticola saxatilis

(Above) Al Ghuwayriya to Zubara Rd, Qatar, 20 February 2013 (EOS 7D, 300mm f2.8 + 2x Extender)

Miles and miles of fencing (to keep the camels off the roads), and just occasionally something pops up off the desert floor and perches in view. Usually, it's a Desert Wheatear, but there's often a reward if you bother to keep checking out the 'dots on the wires'.
