White-spectacled Warbler

The white-spectacled warbler is a 10–11-centimetre leaf warbler with olive-green upperparts, rich yellow underparts, a yellow wing bar and a broad pale orbital ring. The eye-ring normally has an obvious break above the front of the eye, while dark lateral crown stripes frame the crown. These marks make it one of the more distinctive members of the golden-spectacled group, although call remains valuable confirmation (Hong Kong Bird Watching Society; BirdsandMe).

It ranges from the eastern Himalayas to southeastern China and southern Vietnam in closed-canopy subtropical and tropical evergreen forest, from lowlands into montane zones; Himalayan accounts commonly place it around 1,400–2,300 metres. Birds glean invertebrates from foliage by day, remaining within dense forest vegetation. General life-history compilations give an average clutch near four or five eggs, but detailed local breeding information remains limited (Wikipedia; Oiseaux.net, citing Birds of the World and comparative datasets).
