Tytler’s Leaf Warbler

Tytler’s Leaf Warbler (Phylloscopus tytleri) is an endemic to the Indian Subcontinent that is strongly migratory.

It breeds in the northwestern Himalayas and winters in moist habitats at hill tops in South India.

During spring migration, Tytler’s Leaf Warbler is a common passage migrant in the Himalayas of Uttarakhand and Himachal, perhaps due to the abundant nectar resources that are available in the region during that period.

Migration map

This animated migration map was created from observations uploaded to the citizen science platform eBird up until 2020. Where present, the inset graph depicts the seasonal likelihood of finding this species (i.e. the proportion of eBird checklists) within its range in India alone. We are grateful to the many birdwatchers around the world who have enabled the creation of this animation by sharing their observations on eBird.
