Appearance
This is one of several "Sylvia" species that has distinct male and female plumages. Both sexes are mainly brown above and buff below, with chestnut fringes to the secondary remiges. The adult male has a grey head and a white throat. The female lacks the grey head, and the throat is duller. The whitethroat's song is fast and scratchy, with a scolding tone.Behavior
The hoarse, a little bit nasal call sounds like "wed-wed" or "woid-woid". The warning cry is long-pulled, rough "tschehr" which resembles that of the Dartford warbler.Habitat
This is a bird of open country and cultivation, with bushes for nesting. The nest is built in low shrub or brambles, and 3-7 eggs are laid. Like most warblers, it is insectivorous, but will also eat berries and other soft fruit.References:
