Japanese Bush Warbler

Cettia major

The Japanese Bush Warbler, scientifically known as Cettia major, is a small passerine bird native to East Asia. It is known for its melodious and distinctive song, often heard in dense undergrowth and thickets. This species has a plain olive-brown plumage with a slightly paler underside. It forages for insects and small invertebrates in the underbrush, using its slender bill to capture prey. The Japanese Bush Warbler is a secretive bird, preferring to stay hidden within its preferred habitats and rarely venturing into open areas. Its populations are generally stable, but it faces threats from habitat loss and degradation in some regions.
