This old world warbler has a massive range across Eurasia, Africa, south Asia and even down to northern Australia. It is a bird of grasslands but can be found in agricultural areas or even in marginal habitat like this one just outside of Lisbon in Portugal. The name is supposed to be onomatopoetic, meaning the sound sounds like zit repeated over and over. I found this just when I started birding on a work trip.
