Green Warbler

Phylloscopus nitidus

The Green Warbler, known scientifically as Phylloscopus nitidus, is a captivating species of leaf warbler. It is also referred to as the Green Willow Warbler or Green Leaf Warbler. This bird is a member of the Phylloscopidae family, a group that was once part of the broader "Old World warbler" assemblage. The genus name Phylloscopus is derived from the Ancient Greek words for "leaf" (phullon) and "seeker" (skopos), while the specific name nitidus means "shining" in Latin, reflecting the bird's bright plumage.

Identification Tips

The Green Warbler can be distinguished by its bright coloration compared to its close relative, the Greenish Warbler. It exhibits a more vivid yellow underside and has a strong wing bar accompanied by a fainter one, particularly noticeable in juvenile birds.

Habitat

This species is native to the Caucasus Mountains, nestled in the southeastern part of Europe.

Distribution

The Green Warbler is found in the Caucasus region, which straddles the intersection of Europe and Asia.

Similar Species

The Green Warbler is most closely related to the Greenish Warbler, though it is notably brighter in color with a more pronounced yellow underside.

Conservation status

The IUCN Red List has classified the Green Warbler as Least Concern, indicating that currently, there are no immediate threats to its population levels that would warrant a higher risk category.

My favourite app
As a young birdwatcher who was always keen to be apart of a community but never seemed to find one, my problem was solved downloading this!!! Everyone is so friendly and just as excited to see birds as me šŸ˜

Clean and easy to use
Really enjoying this app, it's clean and easy to use. I love the ease of being able to add those one-off birds without starting a whole checklist. I also like the social aspect, like the parts of my Facebook I like, without the ads and junk, just birds. Can't wait to see it become more populated.
