Description
The Cetti's warbler is approximately 13–14 cm (5.1–5.5 in) from bill to tail. The male weighs 15 g (0.53 oz) and the female 12 g (0.42 oz). Cetti's warbler has a rounded head with a narrow pale grey stripe arching over conspicuous black eyes, and short, rounded wings. The upperparts are a rich chestnut or dark reddish-brown; the throat and breast are pale grey. The tail is longer and broader than many other warblers. The sexes have similar plumage, but males are 26% to 32% heavier than females with a wing-length 11.2% to 13.% longer. The male has a wing longer than 60 mm; the female has a wing shorter than 55 mm. The birds can be aged by their plumage; juveniles look similar to adults but have fresh plumage and two dark or dark grey spots on the tongue. Cetti's warbler is unusual among passerine birds in having ten tail feathers (rectrices) rather than the usual twelve. Cetti's warblers signal their presence with loud song. Their song is distinct, comes in loud bursts, and has a unique structure that allows the birds to avoid mating with other species.

Feeding Habits
Cetti's Warbler subsists mainly on arthropods, favoring soft-bodied insects and larvae for rapid digestion. It employs specialized foraging tactics to hunt its prey, showcasing distinctive dietary preferences in its habitat.
Habitat
Cetti's Warbler typically resides in damp environments such as marshes, wet meadows, and areas adjacent to ponds, lakes, and rivers. This bird favors thick vegetation for cover, including dense reeds, thorny shrubs like brambles and blackthorn, tangled streamside thickets, and undergrowth in alder or poplar woodlands. Cetti's Warbler can be found in both lowlands and upland regions across broader temperate zones, breeding up to altitudes of 1450 meters in some areas, and is known to frequent dense scrublands and overgrown orchards during the non-breeding season.

Distribution Area
The Cetti's warbler usually inhabits damp areas including ponds, lakes, marshes and rivers. It is insectivorous. The number of Cetti's warblers has greatly increased across Europe since 1990. The current population of Cetti's warblers in Europe is estimated to be about 600,000-1,600,000 breeding pairs. The populations in Italy and Turkey are known to be stable or increasing. The exception to the general positive European population trend is Greece, where the population decreased slightly between 1990 and 2000. However, overall, Cetti's warblers are evaluated as secure. The Cetti's warbler was first recorded in the United Kingdom in 1961. The UK population of Cetti's warblers fell by over a third between 1984 and 1986. However, populations in milder regions continued to grow.
