WARBLER 6/15 - Mountain leaf Warbler

 Mountain Leaf Warbler
 
Caught this bird in a bird wave at Gunung Brincang Cameron. Very misty that late morning bunching with rowdy black-eared shrikebabblers, golden warblers and mountain fulvetta. Very exciting times then

The one I got is a juvenile. A mature one will be brighter in color and the head bars darker. It comes down to middle storey so lucky to get it. The bird is a resident of Malaysia ......... prefer higher altitude above 1200m wet dim montane forest. Never can see it in Awana/ Bkt Tinggi

The rarer Warbler is the Eastern Crowned Warbler which is a passage migrant to our lowlands upto 1,800m
