Consigli sul campo

1. Listen for the song. The distinctive scratchy song is often the first indication of a Common Whitethroat's presence. They sing from prominent perches or during short song-flights.
2. Scan dense vegetation. They are often hidden within bushes and scrub. Look for movement in the foliage, especially near the tops of bushes.
3. Be patient. Whitethroats can be quite active but also secretive. Patience is key to getting a good view.
4. Look for movement. They are constantly moving, flitting between branches as they forage for insects.
5. Visit in spring/early summer. They are most vocal and visible during the breeding season when they arrive from migration.
