Brown-flanked Bush Warbler

Horornis fortipes

The Brown-flanked Bush Warbler, or Horornis fortipes, is a modestly adorned member of the Cettiidae family. This bird, once grouped with the "Old World warbler" assemblage, exhibits a plumage that blends seamlessly with its natural surroundings.

Identification Tips

When endeavoring to identify the Brown-flanked Bush Warbler, look for its distinctive brown flanks which give this species its name. The bird's overall coloration is a subtle mix of earthy tones, designed for camouflage in its habitat.

Habitat

This species is adept at navigating the dense undergrowth of its South Asian habitats. It thrives in areas that provide ample cover and a rich supply of insects.

Distribution

The Brown-flanked Bush Warbler is a resident of South Asia, where it can be found flitting through the foliage, largely unnoticed due to its cryptic plumage.

Behaviour

Observing the behavior of the Brown-flanked Bush Warbler can be a challenge due to its preference for remaining hidden among thick vegetation. Its movements are often only betrayed by the rustling of leaves.

Conservation status

The Brown-flanked Bush Warbler is currently classified as Least Concern by the IUCN. This status indicates that, for now, the species is not at immediate risk of decline.

In the spirit of conservation, it is our collective responsibility to ensure that the Brown-flanked Bush Warbler, along with countless other species, continues to flourish for generations to come.

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! 🐦
