What is the tytler's leaf warbler?
Tytler's leaf warbler (Phylloscopus tytleri) is a songbird species. Like all leaf warblers, it was formerly placed in the "Old World warbler" assemblage, but now belongs to the new leaf-warbler family Phylloscopidae.
It is found in Afghanistan, Pakistan, Nepal, and India. It passes through the Western Himalayas to winter in southern India, particularly in the Western Ghats and the Nilgiris.[1]
Its breeding habitat is subtropical or tropical moist montane forests. It is threatened by habitat loss. It breeds in the Northwestern Himalayan region and is suspected to breed in the Garhwal and Kumaon Himalayas. Its non-breeding habits includes the use of a variety of different habitats including horticultural gardens, coffee estates, shola forests, and patches of greenery in urban areas.
The name commemorates the British naturalist Robert Christopher Tytler.
