  Birds Korea - conserving birds and habitats in South Korea and the Yellow Sea eco-region
The Sakhalin Leaf Warbler is listed in the official OBC checklist and in many other recent checklists covering the region as a separate species from the Pale-Legged Leaf Warbler Phylloscopus tenellipes, primarily on the basis of its song.
The Pale-legged Leaf Warbler's song is strikingly different, and much more similar to that of Asian Stubtail Urosephena squameiceps, an insect-like "si-si-si-si-si", sometimes given with the rhythm of a Yellowhammer Emberiza citrinella, with greater emphasis on the first part of the song, ending with a slight upward inflection (pers obs).
The Pale-legged Leaf Warbler is, however, a very scarce species, heard by NM on only two dates in 7 years in Fukuoka Prefecture: 4 on May 23 1993 and 1 in late April 1997 (unpublished data).

 Bird Photography Tips
Warblers are very small birds; this creates a problem with getting a desirable image size, as you will be at the lens minimum focusing distance (MFD) most of the time.
Often times when a "wave" of warblers has flown in, there will be a few individuals who are a bit tired.
In summary, trying to photograph warblers is challenging due to their small size and activity.

Watching leaf warblers is a bit like doing a jigsaw puzzle: you get a view of a wing, and then a few seconds later the side of the head, then briefly the rump as the bird hovers for a bit and so on.
Finally, many of the leaf warblers call whilst they forage, so do note down a description of the call as well, as this can be very important.
All of the leaf warblers seen in the vicinity of Delhi are either passage migrants or winter visitors (there are three regular wintering species: Common Chiffchaff, Hume’s Warbler and the scarce Brook’s Leaf Warbler).

 Friends of Bright Leaf
The geology of Texas and the Hill Country is evident in the numerous fossils and rocks and the quarry area allows us to see how the layers of sediment were deposited at the bottom of the waters that once covered Texas.
Bright Leaf is a great place to see some of the native plants that can be used in wildscapes and are available at area nurseries.
School groups find Bright Leaf very convenient to visit since it is in town, and children from the Austin Independent School District, St. Stephens School, and Kirby Hall School have come to enjoy and learn about the park.

 Comparing Phylloscopus humei and Phylloscopus inornatus   (Site not responding. Last check: )
The dark centres to the tertials and greater coverts are greyer (less flish) than in Yellow-browed warbler, therefore contrasting less with the pale edges to these feathers.
The median-covert bar is shorter and more ill-defined than in Yellow-browed warbler, since the tips to these feathers are light grey-green or yellowish-green, not whitish as in Yellow-browed warbler.
The bill is shorter and slightly more blunt-tipped in Hume's warbler, with yellowish base to lower mandible less bright in colour and not reaching as far towards the tip and along the cutting edges as in Yellow-browed warbler.

The late afternoon walk up the peak produced many Blyth’s Leaf Warblers, their Wren-like song and wing waving display is excellent value, but the best was kept to last.
Chinese Leaf Warblers were singing well at the site I had seen one yesterday and other areas; Bull-headed Shrikes totalled 11 for the day; Indian Cuckoo was scoped distantly; but the star of the morning was perhaps the Great Wall disappearing into the distance, fort after fort.
Later, a Spotted Bush Warbler was seen by Martin, and this proved to be last good bird of the trip as we transferred to Beijing by train in preparation for the return home.

 British Garden Birds - Chiffchaff
The Chiffchaff is a tiny leaf warbler about the size of a Blue Tit.
Willow Warbler, though it is less yellow, has shorter eyebrows and often has darker legs; remember the phrase: "the riff-raff have dirty legs".
They also tend to be found towards the tops of trees and bushes, in woodland areas, whereas Willow Warblers are more often lower down (and in more open, scrub areas), and seem more nervous - constantly flicking their tail downwards.

Warblers are the archetypal "little brown birds" that pose so many identification problems for birdwatchers.
These problems are sometimes complicated by the fact that not all warblers are brown and small; some are brightly colored and relatively large.
The book describes in detail 145 species, including all aspects of identification and those species that are likely to be confused with one another.

 IngentaConnect Latitudinal trends in body size among over-wintering leaf warbler...
Here we demonstrate a negative association of body size with latitude among over-wintering warblers of the genus Phylloscopus as well as within a single species (Phylloscopus trochiloides) we were able to study in depth.
The timing of its autumn migration is correlated with the withdrawal of the monsoon through India and its appearance on the breeding grounds in spring is correlated with the appearance of relatively large prey.
We suggest that prey size and abundance are the main determinants of the spatial distributions of Phylloscopus warblers in winter.
