Its natural habitats are subtropical or tropical dry forests, subtropical or tropical moist lowland forests, and subtropical or tropical moist montanes. <\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><strong>7<\/strong> Photos<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n\n \t\n\t<div class=\"ngg-album\">\n\t\t<div class=\"ngg-albumtitle\"><a href=\"https:\/\/focusingonwildlife.com\/news\/galleries\/small-landbirds\/lesser-whitethroat-sylvia-curruca\/\" data-wpel-link=\"internal\">Lesser Whitethroat Sylvia curruca<\/a><\/div>\n\t\t\t<div class=\"ngg-albumcontent\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"ngg-thumbnail\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/focusingonwildlife.com\/news\/galleries\/small-landbirds\/lesser-whitethroat-sylvia-curruca\/\" data-wpel-link=\"internal\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"Thumb\" alt=\"Lesser Whitethroat Sylvia curruca\" src=\"https:\/\/focusingonwildlife.com\/news\/wp-content\/gallery\/lesser-whitethroat-sylvia-curruca\/thumbs\/thumbs_lesser-whitethroat-sylvia-curruca-4.jpg\" title=\"\"><\/a>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"ngg-description\">\n\t\t\t\t<p>The Lesser Whitethroat, Sylvia curruca, is a common and widespread typical warbler which breeds in temperate Europe, except the southwest, and in western and central Asia.
