Segni di campo chiave

• Size and Shape. Look for a very small, plump bird with a short, often cocked-up tail. Its overall appearance is compact and rounded.
• Plumage. Note the rufous-brown upperparts with fine dark barring, especially on the wings and tail. The pale supercilium (eyebrow stripe) is a key field mark.
• Behavior. Observe its active, restless movements, constantly flitting through dense undergrowth, often close to the ground. It frequently bobs its head and body.
• Song. Listen for its remarkably loud, complex, and rapid song, which is disproportionate to its size. It's a series of trills and warbles, often ending with a distinctive rattle.
• Habitat. Check dense, tangled vegetation, hedgerows, and woodland undergrowth, particularly near water. They prefer areas with good cover.
