      Les Pouillots sont des sylviadรฉs que lโ€™on voit trรจs rarement en captivitรฉ. Trois espรจces diffรฉrentes sont les hรดtes de la forรชt de Soignes. Les Pouillots fitis et vรฉloce se ressemblent : tous deux ont les parties supรฉrieures dโ€™un ton cendrรฉ olivรขtre et le dessous du corps jaunรขtre ; mais le vรฉloce est plus sombre et a les pattes dโ€™un brun noirรขtre, tandis quโ€™elles sont de couleur brun clair chez le fitis. Ils recherchent les buissons et les taillis oรน ils font entendre leur chant assez agrรฉable.

      Note de lโ€™รฉditeur : je qualifierais difficilement de chant le guilleret ยซ deux-notes ยป du Pouillot vรฉloce.

      EN version

      The warblers are members of the Sylviidae that are very rarely seen in captivity. Three different species inhabit the Forรชt de Soignes. The Willow Warbler and the Chiffchaff resemble one another: both have upperparts of an ashy olive colour and yellowish underparts; but the Chiffchaff is darker and has blackish-brown legs, whereas those of the Willow Warbler are light brown. They seek out bushes and thickets, where they make their quite pleasant song heard.

      Editorโ€™s note: I would hardly call the Chiffchaffโ€™s jaunty two-noter a song.

      Dr. Alphonse Dubois, conservateur honoraire au Musรฉe dโ€™Histoire naturelle de Belgique from La Forรชt de Soignes, edited by Stevens and Van der Swaelmen, 1920

      Henry Eeles, 1838-1915. Chiffchaff above, Willow Warbler below
