Adult Yellow-browed Warbler (Phylloscopus inornatus) at Siem Reap, Cambodia - February 2019
Featured Subspecies: None - monotypicWeight: 7g / Length: 10-11cm / Wingspan: 17cm
NOT PRESENT IN UK / IUCN Red List: Least Concern
A small, almost goldcrest like warbler with a very wide range of locations. They breed in North-East Asia, but has a vast passage range covering almost all of Eurasia. It occurs as a regular passage migrant in the UK, and I'd missed a couple of attempts to catch up with them as they headed for their Wintering grounds in Iberia and the West Coast of Africa. However, a second area of Wintering is South-East Asia, and it is here I encountered this bird in a tree in the gardens of our hotel in Siem Reap.
