Lesser Whitethroat
Binomial name: Sylvia curruca (Linnaeus, 1758)
Tr name: Küçük Akgerdanlı Ötleğen

Scientific classification
Kingdom: Animalia
Phylum: Chordata
Subphylum : Vertebrata
Class: Aves
Order: Passeriformes
Family: Sylviidae
Genus: Sylvia
Species: S. curruca

The Lesser Whitethroat, Sylvia curruca, is a common and widespread typical warbler which breeds in temperate Europe, except the southwest, and in western and central Asia. This small passerine bird is strongly migratory, wintering in Africa just south of the Sahara, Arabia and India.

Unlike many typical warblers, the sexes are almost identical. This is a small species with a grey back, whitish underparts, a grey head with a darker "bandit mask" through the eyes and a white throat. It is slightly smaller than the Whitethroat, and lacks the chestnut wings and uniform head-face color of that species. The Lesser Whitethroat's song is a fast and rattling sequence of tet or che calls, quite different from the Whitethroat's scolding song.

Like most "warblers", it is insectivorous, but will also take berries and other soft fruit. This is a bird of fairly open country and cultivation, with large bushes for nesting and some trees. The nest is built in low shrub or brambles, and 3-7 eggs are laid.

Hi Fikret.
What an amazing scene. The location of the bird behind the impressive twig is fantastic. However, quality of the shot is unbelievable. It is top class. All is fantastic DOF, sharpness of the entire scene, terrific in its colouration, smoothness and at last beauty BG. Composition of the shot is simply blameless too. My congratulations.
Alexei.

Hi Fikret,

A beautiful capture of this Lesser Whitethroat, a bird I am not familiar with. The pose on the leaves is very beautiful. Excellent details of the lovely face and eye, the wings, and the silky looking plumage. The colors are superb. A beautiful setting (I love the droplets on the leaves), background and composition.
