It sings on a short climbing flight above the brambles.
From Common Whitethroat
Its courtship is among the most persistent of any Iberian bird: the male chases the female offering her a blade of grass in his bill, she attacks him, he backs off and comes at it again until she accepts him.
From Common Whitethroat
On sunny days it is bold and shows itself on top of the bushes, but in cloudy or wet weather it becomes extremely secretive.
From Common Whitethroat
Resident and closely tied to scrub; fires hit it hard.
From Dartford Warbler
Spain holds most of the world population of the species: what happens to the Mediterranean scrub here determines its global future.
From Dartford Warbler
It is resident and highly sensitive to cold: a particularly hard winter can crash the populations at the northern edge of its range, as happened in England in the 1960s, when it came close to disappearing from the country.
From Dartford Warbler
Very common in Iberian scrub; its call is a dry rattle.
From Sardinian Warbler
Its alarm call is a dry, repeated rattle that sounds like a wooden ratchet: in Mediterranean scrub it is heard long before it is seen, and it is one of the most characteristic sounds of Spanish low scrubland.
From Sardinian Warbler
