Phylloscopus inornatus
The Yellow-browed Warbler is a tiny, olive-green warbler with distinctive yellow eyebrows (supercilium) and two pale wing bars. Its underparts are whitish with a slight yellow tinge, and it has a thin, dark bill and legs.
Males and females are virtually identical in appearance. Juveniles closely resemble adults but may have slightly duller plumage and less distinct markings.

Yellow-browed Warblers breed in the taiga forests of northern Asia, from eastern Russia to northeastern China. They prefer coniferous and mixed woodlands with a dense understory for nesting.
During winter, they migrate to southern Asia, including India and Southeast Asia. In recent years, increasing numbers have been observed wintering in Western Europe, particularly in the UK, where they are considered rare but regular autumn visitors.
In the UK , sightings are mainly concentrated along the east coast of Scotland and England, with coastal scrubland habitats. Some individuals regularly end up further afield, as far as the coast of Devon and Cornwall in the southwest.
