| Résumé : | Observations of stonechat taxa in the United Arab Emirates during a seven-year period, 2008-14, are presented. These suggest that while European Stonechat Saxicola rubicola is a regular wintering species, (at least) two subspecies of Siberian Stonechat S. maurus are rather uncommon passage migrants. These findings are compared with the status of stonechats in neighbouring countries and with past statements about the status of the forms in the region. Comments on the subspecific identity of Siberian Stonechats in the UAE are also presented. |
