Melodious Warbler, Zarcero común

The Melodious Warbler is very similar to the more easterly Icterine Warbler and replace it in southwest Europe .
The Melodious and Icterine Warblers are basically green and yellow birds while other Hippolais warblers are duller, more pale brown and buff. It is 12-13 cm long and has a wingspan of 18-20 cm. The Melodious has a plainer wing with a shorter wingtip (primary feather) projection when perched than the Icterine.

It produces short clicks and sparrow-like chattering. The song is fast, rambling, not very accomplished warble, including rattling notes
and shrill whistles but generally not much contrast in tone.
The nest is a deep cup in small branches of tree or large bush; 4 or 5 eggs; 1 brood; May–July.
It feeds taking insects from foliage. It pulls berries from twigs in autumn.
