Spotted
A medium-sized, drab warbler with a distinctive song, found in dry, open habitats with scattered bushes and trees.
Where to spot
Breeds across Southeast Europe, the Middle East, and Central Asia, preferring dry open country with scattered trees and bushes, orchards, and vineyards. Winters in East Africa and the Arabian Peninsula.
How to spot
Look for a rather drab, grayish-brown warbler with a long, relatively flat head, a faint supercilium, and dull yellowish-white underparts. Its song is a rapid, chattering, and rather monotonous 'chip-chop-chip-chop' with a distinctive rhythmic quality.
When to spot
Best observed during the breeding season (April-July) when males sing from exposed perches. Migrants pass through during spring (April-May) and autumn (August-September).
