The Western Olivaceous Warbler is a medium-sized, drab-colored warbler, known for its rather plain, olive-brown plumage. It is a migratory species found across dry, open habitats.
Where to spot
Breeds in southern Europe, North Africa, and the Middle East, preferring dry scrubland, olive groves, and open woodlands. Winters in sub-Saharan Africa.
How to spot
Look for an active bird foraging in bushes and trees. Its song, a rapid and often jumbled series of notes, is the best way to detect this species. They can be quite mobile when feeding.
When to spot
Breeding season (spring/summer) in its northern range, and during migration (spring/autumn) through Mediterranean regions and Saharan Africa. Present in wintering grounds from autumn to spring.
