Field Notes
Description:
This tiny fellow gets about as big as 13-15cm. He breeds in gardens, parks and forests, often with small glades and openings.
He is a very common passage migrant for Kuwait (Sept-Oct & March-July), rare to see him here in summer. Wintering grounds are in Africa, breeding grounds are in Europe, Caucasus area, west Siberia (of all places) & possibly Turkey. Amazing when you look at the world map and see what kind of a journey they have.
Notes:
Taken during migration in Kuwait.
These fellows can be seen quite often during that time.
