Curruca cantillans
(L 4.7-5.1")
Breeds in the far south Europe and
northwest Africa...winters along
the southern edge of the Sahara.
Oh sweet, enchanting warbler
Let your tune pierce every heart
Your voice is the last, we hear at night
And first....at the fresh day‘s start.
(Ali Mayo)
Curruca is mentioned by Juvenal
and is Latin for
a warbler;
cantilans is Latin for a warbling,
humming.
