Observation details
Male giving excellent views singing constantly around ~34.207713,35.932221 with display flights etc. Seemingly unpaired. Small Sylvia with clear pale moustache that stripe, and terracotta upper chest contrasting with paler underparts (cf inornata). Responded to neither playback of eastern or western subalpine, but sounded a lot more like western in real life (although clearly cantillans), with less stuttered song.. see recordings etc. Seems odd to have this species potentially breeding here where most of their range is no further east than western Turkey..
