The Limestone Leaf Warbler is a small, relatively plain warbler, often with greenish upperparts and a pale belly. It is distinguished by its preference for unique karst limestone habitats.
Where to spot
Primarily found in evergreen forests and scrub on limestone karst formations across parts of Southeast Asia, particularly Vietnam and Laos.
How to spot
Focus your search in limestone areas. Listen for its distinctive song, which differs from other leaf warblers in the region, and watch for its movements in the mid-canopy.
When to spot
Can be observed year-round in its specific habitat. Most active and vocal during the breeding season (spring/summer).
