About

The willow warbler is a very common and widespread leaf warbler which breeds throughout northern and temperate Europe and the Palearctic, from Ireland east to the Anadyr River basin in eastern Siberia. It is strongly migratory, with almost all of the population wintering in sub-Saharan Africa.

Fun Fact

Willow Warblers undertake a 12,000 km round-trip to sub-Saharan Africa each year—a remarkable feat for a bird weighing under 11 grams.
