Taiwan Bush Warbler

Locustella alishanensis (Rasmussen, Round, Dickinson & Rozendaal, 2000)

Taiwan Bush Warbler, Locustella alishanensis, is a passerine of the family Locustellidae that breeds in Taiwan. It is endemic to the island and lives in mountain country from 1,200 to 3,000 m, with records also below 1,000 m in winter. It uses woodland with dense undergrowth, as well as grass and bamboo close to the treeline, and it also occurs in places altered by people. The species was first noted in 1917 and recognised as distinct in 2000. It is considered common and has been assessed as least concern.
