Résumé :	Capsule Lesser Whitethroats Sylvia curruca nested within a large forest complex in central Poland. They showed a strong preference for stands of pine Pinus spp. aged 9-15 years, in which they nested at a high density (31 pairs/km(2)). The presence of these stands of young conifers was the result of particular forest management practices and certain low-fertility soil types. It is concluded that Lesser Whitethroats do not avoid the interior of forests per se, but simply do not usually find suitably large patches of preferred habitats within them.
