The Yellow-browed Warbler is a tiny, vibrant warbler, easily identified by its bright yellow supercilium, two yellow wing-bars, and a pale stripe down its crown. It's a highly active, restless bird.
Where to spot
Breeds in the taiga forests of Siberia and the Russian Far East. Winters in Southeast Asia, with a significant proportion migrating through and wintering in parts of Europe.
How to spot
Look for its small size, bright yellowish supercilium (eyebrow), two prominent yellow wing-bars, and a pale median crown stripe. It's very active, constantly flicking its wings and tail. Listen for its distinctive high-pitched, sharp 'tsew-eet' or 'swee-oo' call.
When to spot
Most commonly observed outside its breeding range during autumn migration (September-November), particularly in Western Europe. Less frequently seen in spring.

Yellow-browed Warblers are increasingly common vagrants to Western Europe in autumn, often attributed to 'reverse migration' or navigational errors during their long journey from Siberia.
