Hi, I'm Andrew and I’m just a simple zoology student and crustacean researcher from Ohio. This blog centers around animal IDs so feel free to send me any unknown species (and its location) that you have and I will take my best shot at IDing it! I also occasionally post random zoology/animal factoid things.
Disclamer: none of the pictures are mine unless stated

Blue Rock Thrush (Monticola solitarius)
…despite being called a thrush, Monticola solitarius is a species of Old World flycatcher (Muscicapidae) which breeds in southern Europe and northwest Africa, and from central Asia to northern China and Malaysia. Some populations are migratory, wintering in sub-Saharan Africa, India and southeast Asia. Like the closely related common rock thrush (M. saxatillis), blue rock thrushes breed in open mountainous areas, in rock cavities and walls. Blue rock thrushes are omnivorous, feeding on a wide variety of arthropods, small reptiles, and sometimes berries and seeds.
