Sardinian WarblersThe Sardinian Warbler, Sylvia melanocephala, is a common and widespread typical warbler from the Mediterranean region. Description Like most Sylvia species, it has distinct male and female plumages. The adult male has a grey back, whitish underparts, black head, white throat and red eyes. Plumages are somewhat variable even in the same locality, with the intensity of a reddish hue on upper- and/or underside varies from absent to (in some subspecies) pronounced. More

The Sardinian Warbler's song is fast and rattling, and is very characteristic of the Mediterranean areas where this bird breeds. Distribution and ecology: It breeds in the southernmost areas of Europe and just into Asia in Turkey and the eastern end of the Mediterranean. This small passerine bird, unlike most "warblers", is not particularly migratory, but some birds winter in north Africa, and it occurs as a vagrant well away from the breeding range, as far as Great Britain.

A fine capture of a female Sardinian Warbler taken from a good POV, in a great pose and set in a pleasing composition among the bramble flowers. But as I think it is too dark I have taken it to the WS. More

Mediterranean, the Sardinian Warbler remains little known. Some hundreds of thousands of pairs may nest in mainland and island Greece. Quite often, it is the only bird species that can nest in dry, scrubby areas of low altitude, absent only from areas with very sparse vegetation and phrygana. Despite its abundance, usually no one pays real attention to the Sardinian Warbler, since it normally appears as a greyish-brown fleeting figure, vanishing inside the bushes. More

In the early 1990s the Sardinian warbler began nesting in Cyprus, and now has two breeding populations, in the west and north of the island. Observations of the western population show that its range is still expanding and that the endemic Cyprus warbler has declined in the areas colonized by the Sardinian warbler. More

Cetti's Warbler were singing and sitting on the wires at times. Serin were also showing well, with the Nightingale singing and showing briefly on the wires.
