Sulphur-bellied Warbler

Phylloscopus griseolus

The Sulphur-bellied Warbler, Phylloscopus griseolus, presents itself as a modestly adorned member of the leaf-warbler family. It is recognized by its understated plumage, which harmonizes with the foliage it frequents.

Identification Tips

This species can be identified by its greyish-brown upperparts and the distinctive sulphur-yellow wash on its underparts. Its appearance is similar to other leaf-warblers, but the yellow belly is a key distinguishing feature.

Habitat

The Sulphur-bellied Warbler is at home in rocky hills and scrub forests, where it can be seen flitting among the branches in search of sustenance.

Distribution

The bird's range extends across the Palearctic region, with sightings confirmed in Afghanistan, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Mongolia, Central Asian Russia, Tajikistan, and Turkmenistan.

Behaviour

Observed in small groups, the Sulphur-bellied Warbler exhibits a preference for foraging low in the vegetation. It is not uncommon to see it hopping on the ground as it searches for insects.

Song & Calls

The vocalization of this warbler is a simple, yet distinctive, single-note "cheep" call, often heard as it moves through its habitat.

Diet and Feeding

Insectivorous by nature, the Sulphur-bellied Warbler gleans insects from small branches and leaves, adeptly navigating the foliage to feed.

Conservation status

The IUCN has classified the Sulphur-bellied Warbler as Least Concern, indicating that, for now, the species does not face any imminent threats to its survival.

Great app for learning Birds
I’ve been using the app for a couple of months and love it....Someone said it’s like a real life Pokémon Go for birds. They’re not far off! It’s something that the family can do that gets you out and about. Well worth downloading no matter your age.

Great bird recording
For a while I’ve been trying to find an app to easily record bird lists and day out and struggled to find one that I like. Birda is great for this, straightforward and a great community!

Simply fantastic
I love this app, it puts so much fun into recording the birds I’ve seen and heard while I’m out and about. The interface is user-friendly and suitable for all ages. It’s great to collect badges and to review my “lists”.

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!
