Seicercus Warbler - Hanoi










Hi guys,


Short stroll this morning 1st September to the Botanical Garden.

Seen 1 Forest Wagtail (in the "magical corner"), 1 Asian Paradise-Flycatcher.


And 1 Seicercus Warbler. Not calling, moving quickly through the trees, high, near the huge centenial Ficus tree at the easten part of the garden.

Grey-crowned or Bianchi's ?

If I refer to the Robson, it could be the Grey-crowned (no wing-bar). But without the voice, it seems hard to separate thoses species only by sight. Your opinion !

  1. Hi Sebastian,
    Another great record! I agree, based on the lack of wing bar Grey-crowned is the more likely, but voice would have been the clincher.
    Cheers,
    Simon
