🦉 The common whitethroat or greater whitethroat (Curruca communis)

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

This bird is easy to spot in open areas such as fields, meadows or forest clearings. And spotting it in the spring among the bare branches of bushes is easy. The bird sings loudly and moves from branch to branch, from bush to bush.

You can't admire it from a certain distance. But if you start approaching closer, the bird will become nervous and make a hoarse, mumbling sound—you've violated its comfort zone. Just take a few steps back.
