Description
Hume's bush warbler (Horornis brunnescens) is a species of bush warbler (family Cettiidae). It was formerly included in the "Old World warbler" assemblage. It is found in the Himalayas of Nepal and India. It is formerly considered conspecific with the yellow-bellied bush warbler. The name commemorates the British naturalist Allan Octavian Hume who worked in India.
Feeding Habits
Hume's Bush Warbler predominantly consumes invertebrates and their larvae. It forages discreetly within dense grass and bamboo, often detected by its call rather than seen. Its secretive behavior is a key feeding adaptation.
Habitat
Hume's Bush Warbler typically resides in dense undergrowth environments, frequently opting for thick ringal bamboo clumps. Its habitats are often located on the periphery of forests, which can include areas with abundant fir trees. The species shows a preference for areas that offer ample cover and complexity, usually taking advantage of various dense thickets for shelter and breeding.
