Radde's Warbler

Phylloscopus schwarzi (Radde, 1863)

Phylloscopidae — Leaf Warblers

Radde's Warbler, Phylloscopus schwarzi, is a leaf warbler of the Palearctic, breeding from eastern Kazakhstan and southern Russia through south-eastern Russia to North Korea, and spending the non-breeding season in south-east Asia. It is a migratory bird. In its breeding areas it uses open deciduous woodland with some undergrowth and bushy edges, often close to water. In winter it is found along forest margins, in dense scrub and in bushy places beside woodland. It is a small passerine, and the adult has an unstreaked brown back, buff underparts and a long pale supercilium. The bill is pointed and thicker than that of the dusky warbler.
