Tytler's leaf warbler (Phylloscopus tytleri) is a songbird species. Like all leaf warblers, it was formerly placed in the "Old World warbler" assemblage, but now belongs to the new leaf-warbler family Phylloscopidae. It is found in Afghanistan, Pakistan, Nepal, and India. It passes through the Western Himalayas to winter in southern India, particularly in the Western Ghats and the Nilgiris.
Its natural habitat is subtropical or tropical moist montane forests. It is threatened by habitat loss. It breeds in the Northwestern Himalayan region and is suspected to breed in the Garhwal and Kumaon Himalayas. The name commemorates the British naturalist Robert Christopher Tytler.
In museum specimens, the thin bill is clear and there is a long exposed nasal groove along the bill. The rictal bristles are short and few and the feathering at the base of the beak is reduced giving a very pointed face profile. The lower mandible is not flesh coloured in tytleri as in most trochiloides and it is not dark black as in Phylloscopus collybita tristis. They do not have any wing bars. Wikipedia →

With luck
About 10% of wildlife watchers report a Tytler's Leaf-Warbler sighting in Eravikulam National Park on a given day, based on 20 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data from 2019 to 2026. It is the 65th most-seen of the 116 birds we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 20%, and over a week to about 30%, if each day is a fresh chance.
December and January
In those months about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Tytler's Leaf-Warbler in Eravikulam National Park on a given day, against under 5% in February to November, the lowest months. Those are among Eravikulam National Park's driest months, with about 85 mm of rain a month against 450 mm in July.
Between 7 and 10 am
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Tytler's Leaf-Warbler sightings with a recorded time, and about 9 in 10 of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
Only Eravikulam National Park, in our data
Eravikulam National Park is the only park on Wallace's Line with enough records to rate Tytler's Leaf-Warbler sightings: about 10% of wildlife watchers there report one on a given day.

GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Tytler's Leaf-Warbler is recorded against all the birds logged in Eravikulam National Park (20 verified sightings from 2019 to 2026), 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.
