The Yellow-browed Warbler (Phylloscopus inornatus) is one of smallest leaf warbler in the genus Phylloscopus.
This insectivorous species is a summer breeding resident in the
temperate regions of Asia. In the autumn, it migrates south to winter in
the tropical regions of south east Asia. Small numbers also winter in western and southern Europe, as far south as the Canary Islands. In Ireland, it
is a scarce or rare annual autumn passage migrant to coastal headlands and
offshore islands. This individual was trapped, ringed (banded) and then released under license from The Irish Wildlife Service. Text © Patrick J. O'Keeffe / RawBirds.com |
