whitethroat
Small migratory warbler
A whitethroat is a small migratory songbird of the warbler family, common across Europe and western Asia, named for its pale throat feathers.
The bird frequents hedgerows and scrubland, known for its scratchy, energetic song.
We spotted a whitethroat darting through the brambles.
