🐦Common Chiffchaff

Phylloscopus collybita (Vieillot, 1817)

Gransangeren (latin: Phylloscopus collybita) er en mindre spurvefugl, der yngler i de nordlige og tempererede dele af Europa og Asien. Arten overvintrer i det vestlige og sydlige Europa, det sydlige Asien og det nordlige Afrika. Den danske bestand overvintrer især i middelhavsområdet. Navnet skyldes, at arten nord for Danmark især yngler i granskov. Efter at være indvandret til Danmark i 1800-tallet er gransangeren nu særdeles almindelig over hele landet både i nåleskove, løvskove og blandingsskove.
