Latin name: Phylloscopus proregulus
Size: Approximately 90 to 95mms
Distribution: A rare migrant from Asia.
Months seen: October to November
Food: Insects
Habitat: Usually seen in shrubby coastal areas.
Special features: The Pallas's Warbler is a rare
migrant to Britain, turning up in varying numbers each autumn. They should spend
the winter in southern China but incredibly some make it to our shores. This
arrival is normally associated with easterly winds which carry the birds to the
east coast around mid-October to early November.
The key features are the bold eye and crown stripe and the pale lemon yellow
rump.
