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.
