Po Toi

It feeds between the dense branches and leaves. The size is larger than Arctic Warbler. Quite pale sand colour. And no wing bar.

Please help to identify this Warbler/Bush Warbler.

Thanks in advance.

Hi Allen

You can tell from the rufous cap that this is a Manchurian Bush Warbler.

The first on Po Toi this autumn, I think.

Thank you very much Mike and Geoff.

Sorry, I cannot find Manchurian Bush Warbler in the new Birds of HK and South China. Is it same as Manchurian Reed Warbler?

Thanks

Allen

No, its not Manchurian Reed Warbler

It is the same as Japanese Bush Warbler on page 182 of the Chinese version of the HK & China Field Guide.
