In the central city of Dobrich Bulgaria, I was following a Great spotted woodpecker in a tree and suddenly I found this other bird on the same tree.

SiviaCurruca SiviaCurruca SiviaCurruca

The context of the picture is:

  • Country: Bulgaria
  • City: Dobrich, Center urban area
  • Period: mid August (2016)

I think this is a specimen of Silvia Curruca, can anybody confirm this?

Yes, Lesser whitethroat indeed. Grey head with contrasting white throat and brown body, small bill (the similar Orphean warbler has a much bigger bill).

The point of answers is to be helpful to others searching for similar questions in the future, which is made possible by evidence/citations. Unsupported responses to species-identification questions should be added as comments and not as answers. Thanks. $\endgroup$

  • $\begingroup$ There is no citation involved in identifying birds. In Europe this is the best guide amazon.com/Collins-Bird-Guide-Lars-Svensson/dp/0007268149 But a guide is not enough to identify birds, the field experience is essential (I have been birdwatching for 20 years). $\endgroup$
