The eastern crowned warbler (Phylloscopus coronatus) is a species of Old World warbler in the family Phylloscopidae. It inhabits boreal and temperate forests in the east Palearctic. The eastern crowned warbler is a medium-sized, rather robust and brightly coloured leaf warbler. It is dark olive-green above and white below with a strong head pattern of dark, grey lateral crown stripes with an indistinct yellowish median crown stripe. It also has a long yellowish-white supercilium with a dark stripe through the eye and dark lores and dusky yellow cheeks. It has a single pale wingbar. The square tail shows a slight fork. It has quite a strong, robust, pale-coloured bill and dark legs.
The eastern crowned warbler breeds in eastern Siberia from the Argun River eastwards and southwards into western Manchuria and into central Sichuan, the Korean Peninsula and Japan. It winters in south-east Asia from eastern India and Bangladesh to Java. It has occurred as a vagrant in western Europe with the first record for Great Britain being in County Durham in 2009; this was the fifth record for the Western Palearctic (UK and Scandinavia).

Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report an Eastern Crowned-Warbler sighting in Osaka on a given day, based on 170 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 71st most-seen of the 180 birds we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 10%, and over a week to about 20%, if each day is a fresh chance.
April–May and September
In those months about 10% of wildlife watchers report an Eastern Crowned-Warbler in Osaka on a given day, against under 5% in June–August and October–March, the lowest months.
Between 3 and 6 am
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Eastern Crowned-Warbler sightings with a recorded time, and about 6 in 10 of them come between 6 pm and 6 am: it is most active around dawn and dusk.
11th of 22
Of the 22 cities where we can rate Eastern Crowned-Warbler sightings, Osaka ranks 11th at under 5%. The best odds are in Sapporo (Japan, about 20%), Daejeon (South Korea, about 10%) and Busan (South Korea, about 10%).
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Eastern Crowned-Warbler is recorded against all the birds logged in Osaka (170 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.
