The Buff-throated Warbler is a small, neat warbler, characterized by its bright buffy-yellow throat and breast, contrasting with olive-green upperparts. It inhabits evergreen forests and scrub.
Where to spot
Found in montane evergreen forests and dense scrub across parts of China, Taiwan, and Indochina.
How to spot
Look for active foraging in the mid-canopy and undergrowth. Its buffy throat is a good field mark, and its soft, often sibilant calls can help locate it.
When to spot
Year-round in resident populations, with some altitudinal movements. Migratory in northern parts, moving to lower elevations in winter.

This warbler often flicks its wings rapidly while foraging, a subtle behavior that can sometimes help in distinguishing it from other leaf warblers.
