47. Wood Warbler

Wood warblers are small birds, thousands of which pass through Malta during spring and autumn migration, but especially in spring. They are active birds, keeping to the trees and flitting among leaves in search of small insects.
Due to their leafy habitat, colour and perhaps even shape, they belong to a group of similar-looking birds known as leaf warblers.
The wood warbler (Maltese: Vjolin hadrani) has a greenish back with lemon yellow breast and white belly.
A walk down Buskett at this time of the year and a close look at any movement in the leaves should reward you with one or two of these handsome birds.
