The Large-billed Leaf Warbler is a medium-sized leaf-warbler named for its relatively robust bill compared to other species in its genus. It typically shows greenish-brown upperparts and pale underparts.
Where to spot
Breeds in dense coniferous or mixed forests in mountainous regions of parts of Asia, migrating to lower elevations or southern regions in winter.
How to spot
Look for its active foraging among the foliage. Pay attention to its bill size, and crucially, learn its unique, rather loud and distinctive song or call.
When to spot
Best observed during the breeding season (late spring to summer) when it is vocal and active. Also seen during migration.

Its distinctive bill size, while subtle, is a key evolutionary adaptation, likely aiding its foraging strategy for specific types of insects or food sources.
