• Curruca is an unidentified bird name mentioned in the poems of the ancient Roman poet Juvenal
• communis (lat.) ordinary, common.

These birds are typical inhabitants of bushes, that is, the lower tier of the forest. Although not only forests, they can also be found in open spaces such as meadows or clearings near the forest, the main thing is that there is a lot of bushes there.

Their triangular head stands out in particular, this is what males do by raising their feathers. This is especially noticeable in the second photo, when the male sings, his throat feathers stand out.
