Lesser Whitethroat

Come October and a great many indistinct trees in the plains of India seem to come alive with sounds. Warblers arrive from the hills and countries up north to set trees abuzz with their constant, muffled calls. One of the most common warbler to visit the plains of India in winters is the Lesser Whitethroat Sylvia curruca, the call of which has been portrayed in this animated graphic. Lesser Whitethroat continuously moves and hops around the tree it visits, it also utters its call almost non-stop. (Sorry, this animation is a bit heavy, 524 kb)
