Birdwatching - 1850 🐦

🦉 Blyth's reed warbler (Acrocephalus dumetorum)

• Acrocephalus Greek: acros upper, pointed, kephale head
• dumetorum lat .: dumetum thicket, thickets, dumus thorny bush

It seems that the behavior of these birds is changing. For all my time that I have been interested in ornithology, I have noticed that in recent years this species of birds has begun to arrive much later than before. If previously I saw them already at the beginning of May, now they arrive only in mid-May. And also, more and more of them began to settle right in city courtyards, of course, in the presence of dense vegetation and bushes.

The bird is easily spotted by their song, which contains the voices and sounds of other birds, separated by their own "checking" sound. Moreover, the bird can sing at night, which is very annoying for those who live near city parks.
