Rote Leaf Warbler

Phylloscopus rotiensis

The Rote Leaf Warbler (Phylloscopus rotiensis) is a small, insectivorous bird found in the forests and woodlands of Rote Island in Indonesia. It is characterized by its olive-green upperparts, yellowish underparts, and a distinct eye-ring. This warbler is known for its melodious and repetitive song, often heard during the breeding season. It forages actively in the canopy and understory, feeding on insects and larvae. The Rote Leaf Warbler is a resident species and does not undertake long migrations. However, its population is threatened by habitat loss and degradation due to deforestation and human activities.
