Breeding and Nesting
Northern Wheatear: Three to eight pale blue eggs, with red brown flecks, are laid in a nest made of grass, roots and moss, lined with finer materials, and built in a rock crevice, wood pile, on the ground, or on a cliff ridge.
Where do wheatears live?
Wheatears spend winter in a broad belt across central Africa – from Senegal to Kenya – where they set up feeding territories in bare, stony areas.
Where do wheatears come from?
Where do wheatears live? They favour open upland habitat in Scotland, northern and south-west England and Wales, although they may also be seen along the coast in other areas while passing through on migration.
