	Rufous bush robin & Black Bush Robin, Yotvata, Israel, Spring 2003
		The two species are closely related though visually very different and share the habit of rhythmically pumping and fanning the tail which's often the first clue to their presence in dense Acacia scrub.
		Black Bush Robin (Cercotrichas podobe) was the second species this spring to appear in our 'Guest of Honor' series on 23rd March.
		Rufous Bush Robin (Cercotrichas galactotes) is generally a late season migrant and breeds quite commonly in the Southern Arava.

	Rufous Bush Robin - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Rufous Bush Robin (Cercotrichas galactotes), also called the Rufous-tailed Scrub Robin or Rufous Bush Chat, is a small member of the flycatchers.
		It builds its nest in a bush; three to five eggs is a typical clutch.
		Rufous Bush Robin is larger than European Robin.

	Auk, The: Early arrival is not advantageous for Rufous Bush-Robins parasitized by common Cuckoos (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
		Rufous Bush-Robins commonly produce two broods (Lopez-lborra 1983, Lopez and Gil-Delgado 1988) before they return to their winter quarters in mid-September (Cramp 1988, Alvarez 1994a).
		Rufous Bush-Robins show a marked preference for nesting in the vineyards, although we have found nests in fruit trees, groups of prickly pear (Opuntia spp.), and directly on the ground (covered by the vineyard canopy).
		Male Rufous Bush-Robins are easy to detect because they use conspicuous song perches and sing frequently upon arrival at the breeding grounds.

	Early Arrival is not Advantageous for Rufous Bush-Robins Parasitized by Common Cuckoos
		Discussion.--Male Rufous Bush-Robins that ar- rived in the breeding area early had higher breeding success if their nests were not parasitized or depre- dated because their females reproduced earlier in the breeding season, laid larger first clutches, and pro- duced more fledglings than females paired with lat- er-arriving males (Table 1).
		In Rufous Bush-Robins, the risk of nest parasitism and preda- tion appear to increase with the early arrival of males.
		Rufous Bush-Robins com- monly produce two broods (L6pez-Iborra 1983, L6pez and Gil-Delgado 1988) before they return to their winter quarters in mid-September (Cramp 1988, Alvarez 1994a).

	Sandgrouse - Black Bush Robin in Egypt
		The Black Bush Robin was found in dense Acacia woodland within Wadi Aideib, at an altitude of c.
		Black Bush Robin is largely confined, in Africa, to the Sahel, breeding in a band across the continent from Senegal and Mauritania east to the Red Sea coast (Snow and Perrins 1998).
		The occurrence of Black Bush Robin in Egypt is unsurprising, as it is known from the Red Sea mountains immediately south of the border with Sudan and at Eilat, Israel.

		Robins are regular winter migrants often sighted on the eastern islands.

		Rufous Bush Robin by the side of the road just as we were leaving the village.
		From the car we saw a large bird of prey was flying along the top of the cliffs which overlooked the road.
		I was again frustrated because as soon as I stopped the car and lifted my binoculars the bird landed on the top of the cliff behind a bush and was hidden from view.

		This was the first of some two dozen we saw during the course of the day, and we had ample opportunities to study this beautiful yet strange bird, running about around watering holes and gliding between bushes on stiff wings to expose its wing pattern of brilliant white trimmed with fl.
		Singing from the tops of the dense juniper bushes we saw White-tailed Rubythroats, and the normally furtive Severtzov's Tit-Warbler gave us incredible views, as it repeatedly came to within three meters of us as we stared in awe at its plumage of violet, blue and ginger.
		In a bushy wadi we found a good concentration of Rufous-tailed Bush Robins and a European Nightjar roosting on the ground.

		Abandoned vegetable gardens and vineyards at the foot of the hills serve as shelter to such species as Black-headed Bunting, Lesser Grey Shrike, Bimaculated Lark and constantly moving flocks of Rose-coloured Starlings, while the dry rock slopes are inhabited by Isabelline and Finsch's Wheatears, Rufous Bush Robin and Pale Rock Finch.
		From the top of the range, with spectacular views down, the rock-strewn slopes are covered with Rhododendron bushes and fields of primulas, hyacinths and other alpine flowers and provide a fantastic sight as as we search for our main target, the rare Caucasian Grouse.
		Its slopes, covered with carpets of flowers and studded with stone piles and thickets of rose and juniper bushes attract such fabualous birds as the magna race of Bluethroat, the unusual Radde's Accentor, Barred Warbler and Red-Backed Shrike.

		It has been recorded in diverse habitats and affects various species, including songbirds, water birds, raptors, reptiles and small mammals.
		There is evidence that cats in Israel are responsible for the sever decline of the rufous bush robin (Cercotrichas galactotes) a small song bird that builds it's nest close to the ground, as well as the decline of the green lizard (Lacerta trilineata) in some areas, particularly on Mt. Carmel.
		I study the effect of predation by domestic cats on wildlife in Israel in three habitats: 1) In urban settlements and cities, 2) In rural settlements such as kibbutz and agricultural villages where domestic cats have access to farm land and/or natural terrain, 3) In natural habitat and in nature reserves.

		Over the centuries, most of the Mediterranean forests, woodlands, and scrub have been seriously degraded or altered.
