Icterine Warbler is a yellowish-olive bird with an orange inside of the beak, which belongs to the reed warbler family. Inhabits: parks, orchards, gardens, riverside and mid-field woodlots. It is sometimes seen in alder forests, parks, wild orchards and cemeteries. Its colors mask it among the foliage and it is very difficult to spot it among the vegetation. When the male sings, he occupies exposed branches so that he can be heard well in his territory. Each Icterine Warbler sings a little differently, because he remembers the voices of birds he met on the wintering ground in Africa and on the way to the breeding ground. Its song contains several phrases that the bird repeats aloud, interweaving fragments of heard songs and even the sounds of local civilization. Icterine Warbler   spend much less time in breeding areas than in wintering grounds. These birds fly to South Africa at the end of August, sometimes at the beginning of September. The number of this species has been fluctuating recently. Leaving field trees and groves, we create a habitat for these beautifully singing birds.
