Nest site use and breeding ecology of white-tailed stonechat (Saxicola leucurus) in Pakistan

The accounts contain records of both successful and unsuccessful nests, providing a full-scale portrait of reproductive performance among habitats.These data add to knowledge on the species’ reproductive ecology and may be useful in comparative or conservation research on open-country passerines in South Asia.
