The Wood Warbler
Phylloscopus sibilatrix



It is the biggest of warblers and has much longer wings.
The upper parts are yellow-green with clear sulphur-yellow markings on its throat and breast. It has wide yellow supercilia and a white underpart.
It lives in coppice and coniferous woods with a preference for deciduous trees or else mature coppice woods.
It builds its nest near the ground amongst plants sometimes under branches or fallen trees. The nest is dome-shaped and made up of dry plant matter such as blades of grass, leaves, fragments of bark and the inside of the nest is lined with finer matter such as animal fur.
It captures insects and other invertebrates which it finds in the leaves of trees.
Its song is similar to the continuous trill of a marble dropping.
There is no evidence of sexual dimorphism.
Its diet is based on insects and other invertebrates as well as certain kinds of fruit during the autumn.
