Luistervink pootjes

Melodious Warbler

Scientific name: Hippolais polyglotta

Wow! This bird is so rare (or just so underappreciated) that we haven't given it a proper write-up yet. Of course, it could also be that we just haven't gotten around to it because we were lured outside again by the birds to listen to their whistling, chattering and singing. OR maybe we were busy practising for the National Bird Whistling Championship! All perfectly valid excuses, but the text still isn't there. Enough about us. Do you happen to know everything about this species? Because you graduated cum laude in ornithology, grew up in a birdwatching hide, or simply because your heart beats faster at the sight of wings, feathers and early mornings in wet grass. Then we're looking for you! Help us fill this empty space with something that fits what Luistervink is all about: meaningful, cheerful, sharp bird info that's actually useful. With facts that check out. With stories that stick. With love for everything that flies, forages and sings. Email: [email protected] And let us know how you'd like to contribute. Birdwatching — you do it with your ears!
