- Sylvia rueppelli
Identification
Alternate common name(s): Ruppell's Warbler
brief note
I saw a male of this species singing in an incredibly small bush (no more than two feet high) in Cyprus in April 2004. It is a very handsome, quite unmistakable bird with a black head bisected by a white moustachial stripe. It's song was, to me, typically Mediterranean Sylvia, short and scratchy.
