I like the above three pictures as they show how inconspicuous they can be amongst the foliage. This is one of the main reasons people head out West when on Lesvos. Ipsilou is the best-known site which is where I took these pics.

If one wanders away from Mont Ipsilou it soon becomes apparent that there are more C. Bunts. in them thar hills. The song makes you stop your car by the roadside and photograph them on less natural perches...
