Sardinian warbler (Sylvia melanocephala) - სარდინიული ასპუჭაკა

I would like to introduce a stranger bird. The one that I met only once in my life. Sardinian Warbler. It is a tiny little fellow, with great ability to mask itself among twigs and stony environment. Even though I could clearly hear its voice coming from the tree about 10 meters away in front of me, I could see nothing (and I must admit, I am quite trained in spotting birds by now). I started my camera and just took three shots of fortune. Two out of those three came out quite okay. Although it is a heavy-cropping and noise reduction, therefore quality of images are not super-exciting, but the bird itself is quite a treasure! As I haven't seen these species in my life ever before, I obviously lack any knowledge of their distribution or lifestyle. My encyclopedia for birds does not list Sardinian warbler among its many species. So, all I could figure out was from asking google about its distribution. Google says, the bird lives in some of the southern banks of Europe.

And it migrates to Northern Africa for winter.

We met Sardinian Warbler in Croatia during our quick visit to the beautiful island of Lokrum near Dubrovnik. Lokrum is an island of beauty, wilderness and peace. There are many, many interesting bird and animal species around. I am extremely grateful and happy for being able to travel to this beautiful place and looking forward to go back and of course... Try to take other shots of this masked bandit bird.

Thanks for reading... And don't forget to... :-)
