A very common and familiar bird in and around Bulawayo. 

 It may often be seen in the roads, especially during- the 

 winter months, or seated on the fences and telegraph-wires. 

 When upon the ground it often stands bolt upright, looking 

 very stately, and all the while jerking its wings and tail. 

 It is by no means shy ; on the contrary, it will not attempt 

 to fly away until one gets within two or three feet of it, 

 and then it only flics a short distance and settles again. 

 Its coloration renders it very inconspicuous on the dark 

 red schist soil of Bulawayo. 1 once saw a Drongo {Bicnirus 

 afer) chasing one of these birds, and the Wheatear was 

 uttering most pitiful cries.
