It is primarily found in parts of Europe and Asia, particularly in areas with dense shrubs and low vegetation. This bird is known for its melodious song, which is often described as rich and varied, making it a favorite among birdwatchers. The Orphean Warbler has a distinctive appearance, featuring a grayish-brown plumage with a lighter underbelly. It is similar in size to other warblers, measuring about 14 to 15 centimeters in length.
