Spotted
The Olive-tree Warbler is a relatively large and robust warbler, notable for its preference for olive groves and similar dense, thorny habitats. It is a migratory species.
Where to spot
Breeds in southeastern Europe and the Middle East, typically in olive groves, vineyards, and dense scrub with scattered trees. Winters in sub-Saharan Africa.
How to spot
Listen for its loud, deep, and often complex song. Look for it foraging actively within the canopy of olive trees or large bushes. Its relatively large size and robust bill can aid identification.
When to spot
Breeding season (late spring to summer) in its northern range, and during migration (spring/autumn) across the Mediterranean and North Africa. Present in wintering grounds from autumn to spring.
