The Japanese Bush Warbler is a small, somewhat plain warbler with olive-brown upperparts and a pale underside. It is famous for its loud, characteristic song.
Where to spot
Inhabits dense undergrowth, scrub, and bamboo thickets in woodlands and gardens across parts of East Asia, including Japan.
How to spot
Listen for its very loud, rising and falling song, often transcribed as 'ho-hokekyo.' It is a skulking species, so seeing it requires patience and a quiet approach to dense thickets.
When to spot
Observable year-round in its resident range. Most vocal during the breeding season (spring/summer), when its song is widely heard.
