🦉 Blyth's reed warbler (Acrocephalus dumetorum)

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

These bush dwellers arrive late, around mid-May. As soon as they appear, the males begin to sing their songs. Their songs are hurried, consisting of various trills, cries, whistles, which these birds borrow from other birds they have once heard.

Most often I see these birds in the meadow outside the city, however these birds can also live in forests and even in the city yard. More and more often I hear them in the summer walking around the city.
