Warblers Collection

Most warblers in the Europe and Asia are migratory. They leave the northern breeding grounds to spend the colder winter months further south, usually migrating in large numbers at night. There are however, increasing numbers of warblers, mainly Chiffchaff and Willow which are remaining in the Uk over the winter months, due to the increasingly mild temperatures.

Willow Warblers

A member of the leaf warbler family, the Willow Warbler is one of our most widespread warblers. It is a fabulous yellow-olive colour. Generally difficult to see, it can be located by its very distinctive cascading song which I like to think sounds like a willow leaf gently falling to the ground.

Sedge Warbler

As the name suggests, the vocal Sedge Warbler is generally found around grassy damp areas of scrub. They arrive back to the UK during April. Once heard, their song is instantly recognizable.
