Western Bonelli's Warbler

Bonelli's Warbler can refer to one of two bird species, formerly regarded as conspecific:

The Western Bonelli's Warbler is classified as Least Concern. Does not qualify for a more at risk category. Widespread and abundant taxa are included in this category.

* Western Bonelli's Warbler, Phylloscopus bonelli, which breeds in south west Europe and north Africa * Eastern Bonelli's Warbler, Phylloscopus orientalis, which breeds in south east Europe and Asia Minor The breeding ranges of the two species do not overlap; while their appearance and songs are very similar, the calls are completely different (see below). They also show marked difference in mtDNA sequence (Helbig et al. 1995). More

Western Bonelli's Warbler is a "warbler" in the leaf warbler genus Phylloscopus. It was formerly regarded as the western subspecies of a wider "Bonelli's Warbler" species, but as a result of modern taxonomic developments, this species is now usually considered to be two species (Sangster et al.

Western Bonelli's Warbler in the Maywick valley this morning - a welcome find tick having had our 1992 Fair Isle bird relegated to Bonelli's Warbler sp. as we never heard it call. This individual called within around twenty minutes of finding it and thus identification was straightforward. It performed beautifully for those who came to see it and not too bad for the cameras (though never once could I set the ISO lower than 1000 due to poor light). More

The Western Bonelli's Warbler has a browner tinge to the upperparts than Eastern Bonelli's Warbler; the latter sometimes has a greenish tinge instead. The song of both species is a fast monotone trill, with only slight differences between the two, and also some similarity to Wood Warbler. The call of the Western Bonelli's Warbler is a disyllabic hu-it, that of the Eastern a completely different hard chup, reminiscent of a Crossbill or a House Sparrow.(Helb et al. More
