The yellow-browed warbler (Phylloscopus inornatus) is a leaf warbler (family Phylloscopidae) which breeds in the east Palearctic. This warbler is strongly migratory and winters mainly in tropical South Asia and South-east Asia, but also in small numbers in western Europe. Like the rest of Phylloscopidae, it was formerly included in the Old World warbler assemblage.
The two sister species differ slightly but consistently in morphology, bioacoustics, and molecular characters. Before the species was split, the names yellow-browed willow warbler and inornate warbler were used by a few authors.
The yellow-browed warbler was first described by the English zoologist Edward Blyth in 1842 and given the binomial name Regulus inornatus. The current genus name Phylloscopus is from Ancient Greek phullon, "leaf", and skopos, "seeker" (from skopeo, "to watch"). The specific inornatus is Latin for "plain".
This is one of the smaller Old World warblers, at 9.5–11 cm long and weighing... Wikipedia →

Possible
About 30% of wildlife watchers report a Yellow-browed Warbler sighting in Zhuhai [Macau] on a given day, based on 33 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 16th most-seen of the 48 birds we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 60%, and over a week to about 90%, if each day is a fresh chance.
February and December
In those months about 50% of wildlife watchers report a Yellow-browed Warbler in Zhuhai [Macau] on a given day, against about 10% in September, the lowest month. Those are among Zhuhai [Macau]'s driest months, with about 25 mm of rain a month against 290 mm in June.
Between 1 and 4 am
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Yellow-browed Warbler sightings with a recorded time, and about 7 in 10 of them come between 6 pm and 6 am: it is most active around dawn and dusk.
8th of 69
Of the 69 cities where we can rate Yellow-browed Warbler sightings, Zhuhai [Macau] ranks 8th at about 30%. The best odds are in Đà Nẵng (Vietnam, about 70%), Hanoi (Vietnam, about 60%) and Xiuying District (China, about 60%).
Same genus: Phylloscopus
The closest relatives of the Yellow-browed Warbler that you can see in Zhuhai [Macau] (genus Phylloscopus, Leaf Warblers) are Pallas's Leaf-Warbler (about 20%), Dusky Warbler (about 10%) and Pale-legged Leaf-Warbler (about 10%), with each one's daily chance of a sighting.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Yellow-browed Warbler is recorded against all the birds logged in Zhuhai [Macau] (33 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.
