Whitethroat Warbler (Curruca communis)

I love this plucky and vociferous little bird, and my winters are always just a little bit sadder for its absence, once it migrates.

I don't usually keep the audio on my videos because I dislike the wind my microphone inevitably picks up, even if there isn't any!

But I've kept it on this video so you can hear the Whitethroat's song:

    Lovely! I think they migrate to Spain as we have these there too (I live in Belgium but I am from Spain) :-) Posted 4 years ago

      I don't think they migrate from the UK to Spain, only the species 'Holiday maker (Fishen chipsrus) does that.

      It's more likely they migrate between Spain and either Africa, Asia or even as far as Pakistan, as I believe they have migration routes which vary from country to country?       Posted 4 years ago

        You probably know much better than me. I just know we have currucas in the Pirineos but they might as well be a different species :-)

          Same bird :-)

          It's widespread in Europe over the summer
