Whitethroat

Llanelli, Wales

Sylvia communis
AKA: Common whitethroat
The whitethroat is a medium-sized warbler, about the size of a great tit. It has quite a long tail which it flicks and cocks as it darts rapidly in and out of cover. The male has a grey head, a white throat and a brown back, and is buff underneath. It is a summer visitor and passage migrant, with birds breeding widely, although it avoids urban and mountainous areas. It winters in Africa, south of the Sahara. (Info from www.rspb.org.uk)

I've spotted a bird similar in size to a starling with a creamy brown head colourful underside, more stripey than speckeley. Anyone have any ideas. We live on Anglesey
