The Plain Chiffchaff is a small, unassuming warbler, primarily olive-brown in color with little distinguishing plumage. It is known more by its quiet, repetitive song, often found in arid and semi-arid environments.
Where to spot
Found in arid and semi-arid regions of Central Asia, parts of the Middle East, and northern Africa, often near water sources or sparse vegetation.
How to spot
Look for this small, active bird in low bushes and trees. Its monotonous, often two-note 'chiff-chaff' or 'zwee-zwee' song is crucial for identification, as visual distinctions are subtle.
When to spot
Year-round in resident populations; migratory in northern parts of its range, moving south for winter.
