Dear Photographers
I have taken this shot one week ago in Khar touran protected area in center of Iran . I hope like it.The Desert Warblers are typical warblers which consist of two distinctive forms. These were previously treated as subspecies, but are now given specific status. They are still each other's closest living relatives, and their relationships to other typical warblers are not clear. They may be somewhat close to the Whitethroat (which in turn is not close to the Lesser Whitethroat). Particularly, female Whitethroats look much like a richly-colored Asian Desert Warbler minus supercilium.Asian Desert Warbler, Sylvia nana breeds in south central temperate Asia. This form is migratory, wintering in north easternmost Africa, Arabia and India. It has occurred as a rare vagrant as far west as Great Britain.
with best wishes

Hi Babak. Thanks for the extra information on this lovely bird. I particularly like the yellow eye. The BG is nice too. The bird does feel a little tight in the frame; if possible I'd add a little canvas on the top, bottom, and right. Also the bird appears a tad oversharpened. Thanks for posting!
Beautiful bird, great eye contact, perch and BG. I agree regarding more room and would adjust the midtones to make it a bit darker. Thanks for the information about this species. Keep them coming!
Babak wellcome on board. The light is a bit hasrh but I think that it is a nice result. Head turn and eye contact are right and the background is fantastic. Another vote for more room. Keep them coming
