Rufous-faced Warbler

Abroscopus albogularis

The Rufous-faced Warbler, scientifically known as Abroscopus albogularis, is a charming member of the bush warbler family, Cettiidae. This small bird, once part of the broader "Old World warbler" group, captivates with its distinctive rufous facial markings.

Identification Tips

Upon encountering this species, one should note the characteristic rufous coloration on its face, which gives the bird its common name. The warbler's plumage is otherwise modest, allowing it to blend seamlessly into its forest surroundings.

Habitat

The Rufous-faced Warbler is a denizen of subtropical or tropical moist lowland forests, where it flits through the understory in search of sustenance.

Distribution

This species graces a range of countries across Asia, including Bangladesh, Bhutan, China, India, Laos, Myanmar, Nepal, Taiwan, Thailand, and Vietnam, showcasing the adaptability of these warblers to various forested environments within the region.

Behaviour

Intriguingly, the Rufous-faced Warbler is known to engage in mixed-species flocks, often accompanying leaf warblers. This social behavior suggests a level of interspecies cooperation and adaptability in foraging strategies.

Conservation status

The IUCN Red List categorizes the Rufous-faced Warbler as Least Concern, indicating that, for now, this species continues to thrive across its range without immediate threats to its population.

The best bird logging app
Birda is honestly the best bird logging app I have seen. I love all the features it has from being able to do a session and log all the birds you see in one sitting, to being able to connect with other birders from all over the globe!

A great app
Enjoying it immensely and finding it useful too. Recording the different birds and counting them is showing me how the present climate is affecting them all. I've trebled the numbers by planting native hedging. A great app.

Great app
I use this app all the time as it’s quick and easy to log individual sightings or whole birding sessions. It’s an excellent way to meet new people and the forum is full of really friendly people. The challenges are a great way to get involved and learn more about birds. Cannot recommend it enough!

Really great app
It’s easy to use and it’s fun to log the birds you notice on a walk or just in your garden. There’s a option to record the birds you see in a session which is really nice. Good excuse to stop for a while and just watch birds. I am also enjoying the information part where you can find out fact about birds from all over the world.

Fun way to add to your birdwatching experience
I enjoy watching birds in my backyard, but this app helped me really pay attention while on vacation this summer. It was fun to add new birds to my bird watching app.

We've been waiting for an App like this
Excellent! We've been waiting for an app like this! Thank you! It would be nice if you could assign additional birds to sessions later!

Makes you want to spot birds more
I think this app is fun. It makes you want to spot birds more so I guess in a way it encourages you to get out and about instead of sitting in front of the TV.

Learning Birding with Birda
I’m relatively new to birding as a hobby, and Birda is a great way to keep track off all the species I see. I’m still working on my ID skills, but the app is great for figuring out potential species, and the online community is so friendly and helpful. Definitely recommend Birda to both early and serious birders! 🐦
