Wood Warblers are the biggest and brightest of our leaf-warblers: those with small fine beaks and greeny-yellow plumage. They can be identified by their yellower throat, gleaming white belly, broader and yellower eyestripe, longer wings and the dark tertials with prominent pale edges.
|
|
Breeds in broadleaved woodland with sparse undergrowth. |
|
A fairly common but localised summer visitor which occurs over much of Britain, although rather scarce in east England. An infrequent bird on passage. |
|
Widespread and easily located throughout Europe in almost all areas of deciduous forest. |
|
| An estimated 17 200 singing males in Britain, most abundant in Wales and the north-east of Scotland. In Ireland they are spreading slowly and over 30 singing males are now found annually. |
|
| 6-7 million breeding pairs. Widespread across Europe but absent from the Iberian Peninsula and rare in the Balkans. |
