Spotted
The Marmora's Warbler is a small, elusive songbird typically found in dense, low scrub habitats. Its plain grey plumage helps it blend seamlessly into its preferred environment, making it a challenging but rewarding species to observe.
Where to spot
Primarily found in the Mediterranean Basin, including islands like Sardinia, Corsica, and the Balearic Islands, as well as parts of North Africa. During winter, some populations migrate to the Sahel region of Africa.
How to spot
Listen carefully for its unique, rattling song within dense scrub. Patience is key, as they are often hidden; look for quick movements in low vegetation, particularly at dawn or dusk.
When to spot
Best observed during the breeding season from spring to early summer when males are vocal and more active. Migration periods in autumn and spring also offer opportunities to spot them.

Despite its secretive nature, the male Marmora's Warbler has a distinctive, rapid trilling song, often delivered from a prominent perch to defend its territory.
