A long-distance migrant, this leaf warbler breeds in the northern taiga forests of Eurasia and Alaska. It is known for its strong migratory urge, traveling vast distances.
Where to spot
Breeds in subarctic and boreal forests across northern Eurasia (Scandinavia to Siberia) and western Alaska. Winters in Southeast Asia, from India to the Philippines.
How to spot
Look for a relatively robust leaf warbler with a long, prominent supercilium and two distinct yellowish wing-bars. Its legs are usually pale. Listen for its distinctive, loud, buzzing trill song, often described as a 'whirring machine.'
When to spot
Primarily observed during the short boreal breeding season (June-July). Best chance for widespread observation is during spring (May-June) and autumn (August-September) migration periods, when it can turn up in unexpected locations.

The Arctic Warbler undertakes one of the longest migrations of any small insectivorous bird, traveling from its Arctic and subarctic breeding grounds all the way to Southeast Asia for winter.
