Tytler's Leaf Warbler

Tytler's Leaf Warbler

Phylloscopus tytleri

The Tytler's leaf warbler, named in honor of the British naturalist Robert Christopher Tytler, is a diminutive and active songbird with a penchant for flitting through the foliage. This species, with its pointed face profile and thin bill, is a member of the Phylloscopidae family, having been reclassified from the former "Old World warbler" assemblage.

Identification Tips

When observing Tytler's leaf warbler, one may note the absence of wing bars, a characteristic feature of this species. The bill is slender, and a long exposed nasal groove runs along its length. The rictal bristles are short and sparse, and the feathering at the base of the beak is reduced, contributing to the bird's pointed facial appearance. Unlike its relatives, the lower mandible is neither flesh-colored as in most trochiloides nor dark black as in Phylloscopus collybita tristis.

Habitat

The natural abode of Tytler's leaf warbler is the subtropical or tropical moist montane forests, where it finds refuge and sustenance.

Distribution

This warbler graces the landscapes of Afghanistan, Pakistan, Nepal, and India. It undertakes a seasonal journey through the Western Himalayas to spend the winter months in the warmer climes of southern India, particularly favoring the Western Ghats and the Nilgiris.

Behaviour

Tytler's leaf warbler is a migratory bird, breeding in the Northwestern Himalayan region, with suspected breeding activity also occurring in the Garhwal and Kumaon Himalayas.

Conservation status

Currently, Tytler's leaf warbler is classified as Least Concern on the IUCN Red List. However, it faces threats from habitat loss, which could impact its numbers in the future.

Birda is my go to app for keeping records of my bird sightings and sessions. It has fantastic information which is great at aiding identification. With all the updates that are coming in the new year, this app is something special.

Just what birding needs
We need more fun in birding, for years it has had a reputation for being up tight and stuffy and only perused by retirees and anoraks. Birda helps change that perception and firmly brings birding into the 21st century! Fun, interactive while still contributing to science and conservation. If you aren’t on it, why not??

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!

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!

Terrific App for Birders
Downloaded Birda around the time my interest in birding was sparked, and it has been a terrific app to help me (1) share my experience, (2) document my sightings, and (3) learn more about birds in general. That said, I also believe Birda is a fantastic app for birders of all experience levels. Great community!
