Phylloscopus trochilus

Phylloscopus trochilus, commonly known as the Willow Warbler, is a charming migratory bird that can be spotted in Croatia during the spring and summer months.

Characterized by its olive-green plumage and distinctive song, which is often described as a repetitive "hoo-hoo-hoo," the Willow Warbler is a familiar presence in woodlands, scrublands, and along riverbanks. This species is integral to the ecosystem, as it plays a role in controlling insect populations and serves as prey for larger predators.

Observing the Willow Warbler adds to the enjoyment of Croatia's diverse birdlife, emphasizing the need for continued habitat conservation to support its migratory journey and breeding success.
