Phylloscopidae — Leaf Warblers

Wood Warbler, Phylloscopus sibilatrix, breeds across Europe, extending east into northern Kazakhstan and central Russia, and spends the non-breeding season in western and central Africa. It is a leaf warbler in the family Phylloscopidae, first described by Bechstein in 1793. In the breeding season it uses open, shaded mature woodland, especially beech and sessile oak, with little ground cover. The nest is placed low in shrubs near the ground. It is a passerine and an insect eater.
