The willow warbler sighted for the first time in India

About the willow warbler(Phylloscopus trochilus)

  • It is one of the longest migrating small birds that breeds throughout northern and temperate Europe and the Palearctic
  • This bird has been sighted for the first time in the country at Punchakkari in Kerala.
  • The bird weighs around 10 g, its long wing feathers that help fly long distances makes it peculiar. 
  • Generally seen in European and the Palearctic regions, the birds migrate to sub-Saharan Africa during early winter.
  •  It is strongly migratory, with almost all of the population wintering in Sub-Saharan Africa
  • Warblers are generally difficult to identify owing to the small size and change in plumage twice a year.
  • They are also the most difficult groups of birds to identify in the field for their striking resemblance to each other.
  • It is a bird of open woodlands with trees and ground cover for nesting, including most importantly birch, alder, and willow habitats. 
  • IUCN status: Least Concern
