A tiny bird, but a very special one for birders visiting the Himalayas โ Tytlerโs Leaf Warbler (Phylloscopus tytleri).
This beautiful leaf warbler breeds in the Western Himalayas and is recorded from the Himalayan region of India, including Uttarakhand. During migration and winter, it can also be found further south in the Indian subcontinent.
For birders, finding a species like this is one of those moments that makes spending hours in the forest completely worthwhile. Tytlerโs Leaf Warbler is associated with the Western Himalayas, and its restricted range makes it a particularly interesting species for birdwatchers exploring this part of India.
Our guests came to Uttarakhand for birding, and this was one of the birds they were hoping to find. And when this tiny warbler finally appeared, it was definitely a memorable sighting. ๐ญ
Tytlerโs Leaf Warbler can be recognised by its long white eyebrow, greyish upperparts, greenish wings and slender pointed bill. It can be a challenging bird to spot as it moves through vegetation, making the encounter even more rewarding.
If you are planning a birding trip to India or Uttarakhand, we would love to take you into the field and explore these forests together.
Would you travel all the way for a bird this small? ๐
