The Western Crowned Warbler is a medium-sized leaf-warbler, characterized by its olive-green upperparts, two distinct wing-bars, and a pale crown stripe. It is a migratory species.
Where to spot
Breeds in deciduous and mixed forests across parts of northern Asia, migrating to South and Southeast Asia for the winter.
How to spot
Look for its two distinct wing-bars and pale crown stripe. Listen for its relatively loud, clear song, which helps in its detection within dense foliage.
When to spot
Best observed during the breeding season (late spring to summer) in its northern range, and during spring and autumn migration.
