The Kamchatka leaf warbler (Phylloscopus examinandus) is a species of leaf warbler (family Phylloscopidae). It was formerly included in the "Old World warbler" assemblage. It is closely related to the Arctic warbler and the Japanese leaf warbler, to which it was formerly considered conspecific.
It breeds in Kamchatka, Sakhalin, Hokkaido and the Kurile Islands; it migrates to Indonesia and the Philippines. The first European observation of a Kamchatka leaf warbler was made on July 18, 2021, in Kilpisjärvi, Enontekiö, Finland. Wikipedia →

Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Kamchatka Leaf Warbler sighting in Kaohsiung on a given day, based on 34 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 132nd most-seen of the 214 birds we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to under 5%, and over a week to about 10%, if each day is a fresh chance.
November
In that month about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Kamchatka Leaf Warbler in Kaohsiung on a given day, against under 5% in December to October, the lowest months. That is one of Kaohsiung's driest months, with about 55 mm of rain against 440 mm in August.
Between 9 am and noon
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Kamchatka Leaf Warbler sightings with a recorded time, and about 7 in 10 of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
5th of 8
Of the 8 cities where we can rate Kamchatka Leaf Warbler sightings, Kaohsiung ranks 5th at under 5%. The best odds are in Sendai (Japan, about 10%), Manila (Philippines, under 5%) and Hangzhou (China, under 5%).
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Kamchatka Leaf Warbler is recorded against all the birds logged in Kaohsiung (34 verified sightings), calibrated against known sighting rates. Figures are rounded to the nearest 10% because citizen-science data supports honest approximations, not decimals, and months with records from fewer than five people show "—". How it works.
