Overview

Family - Warblers and allies (Sylviidae).

A small, green warbler similar in size to a goldcrest. The yellow 'eyebrow' is distinctive, as is the coal tit-like call. Yellow-browed warblers breed in Siberia and occur in the UK every year as they migrate south-westwards. They can be seen in coastal trees and scrub, arriving on the east coast initially, though some birds do make it into south-west England.  They are about from September to November; a few birds may attempt to spend winter in this country.
