Sylvia sarda (Marmora's Warbler)

Synonyms: Curruca sarda (homotypic)

Wikipedia Abstract

Marmora's warbler (Sylvia sarda) is a typical warbler, genus Sylvia. The genus name is from Modern Latin silvia, a woodland sprite, related to silva, a wood. The specific sarda is a Latin feminine form for a person from Sardinia. These small passerine birds are found in open country with thorny bushes and heather. 3-5 eggs are laid in a nest in a bush. Like most warblers, they are insectivorous. This bird is named after the Italian naturalist Alberto della Marmora.
