🦉 Blyth's reed warbler (Acrocephalus dumetorum)

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

This outwardly unremarkable bird arrives around mid-May. It lives in forests, groves, and even in city courtyards. It inhabits bushes, that is, it lives in the lower tier.
Its Latin scientific name speaks for itself. The bird often pricks its head feathers, which makes the head appear angular and large.

This bird is known primarily for its songs. The song is loud, complex, consisting of whistles, cries, trills, which sound in a chaotic order. And these sounds are not its own, but those heard at some time in other bird species. However, all these borrowed sounds are separated by a characteristic crackling sound "check".
