🦉 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.

In the spring, walking through the forest, you can hear the song of this bird, coming from somewhere inside the bushes and branches. But sometimes the males sit on top and are clearly visible. You can get closer, but be careful. The size of the allowable distance can be easily determined by listening to the bird. If the male starts grumbling in a hoarse voice, then it is necessary to step back a couple of meters so as not to invade his comfort zone, and he will continue to sing his song.

With the advent of summer, the birds become silent and lead a very secretive lifestyle, I would even say that it is more secretive, unlike other birds of this family.
