Sulphur-breasted Warbler

Phylloscopus tephrocephalus

The Sulphur-breasted Warbler (Phylloscopus tephrocephalus) is a small, insectivorous bird found in the Himalayan region and parts of Southeast Asia. It is characterized by its olive-green upperparts, yellowish underparts, and a distinctive sulphur-yellow patch on the breast. This warbler is known for its acrobatic foraging behavior, often seen flitting through the dense foliage of montane forests and bamboo thickets. Its melodious song is a common sound in its habitat, where it breeds at high elevations. The Sulphur-breasted Warbler is a migratory species, wintering in lower elevation forests and foothills. Its populations are currently stable, but it faces potential threats from habitat loss and climate change.

Habitat: Montane forests and bamboo thickets
