Ratel's photos #312 Forest Birds-247

The common whitethroat (Sylvia communis)

This stocky bird inhabits shrubs or tall grass thickets on the edges and edges of forests, as well as meadows. Simply put, any open area.
Actually, on the edge I met her. She very actively jumped near fallen bushes, and sang her songs. By the way, the songs are very cheerful, perky, and like all birds of this family, they can imitate the voices of other birds and insert into their songs.

Sexual dimorphism is expressed weakly. In the spring at mating period, the male has a faint pink hue on the chest and sides.
And also, which is very interesting, the male eye color is much lighter than that of the females.
