Arctic Warbler (7 Viewers)

Vocalisations

Yoshiki Watabe posted some recordings on kantori today...
[kantori] Phylloscopus [borealis] superspecies

... I think that colloration and structure of Arctic complex warblers have much variation. And I think that the variation is one of the reason of difficulty of the identification.

I have identified Arctic complex warblers by song and call. I have recorded many song and call of these species in Japan. I uploaded the call and sonogram of these species my following web-sites.

Arctic Warbler on Hegura-jima:

Kamchatka Leaf Warbler on Hegura-jima:

Arctic Warbler on Iriomote-jima, Okinawa Prefecture. Some Arctic Warbler winter on the island.

The call and subsong of Japanese Leaf Warbler at Shirakaba-toge, Matsumoto-shi, Nagano Prefecture. No Japanese Leaf Warbler breeds at Shirakaba-toge.:

I hope that my web-site will be help you.

A late contribution I know, but maybe of interest given that the wintering ranges are apparently not fully known.

Yesterday I had a singing Kamchatka Leaf Warbler P. examinandus on Bali, at Bali Barat National Park. It was also calling occasionally. This is probably not all that surprising I guess but anyone birding Bali in the northern winter might find this helpful.

Graham,

The only reference I can find to winter records is from Ticehurst (1938). He lists Sumba Is.; Flores; Alor; Sumbawa; Bali (Lesser Sundas) but clearly this needs confirmation. They are passing north through the Gulf of Siam in mid-May e.g of 32 'Arctic' Warblers trapped on Ko Man Nai (Rayong) during 15-20 May 2015 the majority were Kamchatka Leaf Warblers.

The first record for Australia of KLW was on Ashmore Reef (south of Timor) in Nov 2012 and very recently they recorded their first record for the Mainland at Broome Bird Observatory.

The type specimen is actually from Bali! From current knowledge it appears to winter quite regularly from Bali east through the Lesser Sundas but not that common compared to Arctic.
