Cetti's Warbler

Cettia cetti (Temminck, 1820)

Cetti's Warbler, Cettia cetti, is a passerine of the Cettiidae family that breeds in south-west and south-central Palearctic regions, with a further breeding presence in north Africa. It lives in dense shrubby cover in wet places near ponds, lakes, marshes and rivers. It is best known for being hard to spot because it keeps to cover. The sexes look alike. The species was named for the Italian zoologist Francesco Cetti and was first described by Temminck in 1820.
