Sylvia communis

Sylvia communis, commonly known as the Common Whitethroat, is a migratory passerine bird found across Croatia during the warmer months.

It is recognised by its greyish-brown plumage, white throat, and lively behaviour, often seen flitting through hedgerows and scrublands. This species primarily feeds on insects, berries, and seeds, playing a vital role in controlling insect populations and dispersing seeds.

The Common Whitethroat's presence in Croatia is an indicator of healthy ecosystems, and its habitats need careful protection to ensure this species continues to thrive within the country.
