Feeding Habits
Chinese Bush Warbler's diet consists primarily of insects. It forages solitarily, typically near the ground in dense grass, where it forms 'tunnels' and moves with rodent-like agility. Flushing this elusive species is challenging as it prefers to remain well-hidden in cover.
Habitat
The chinese Bush Warbler typically breeds in grassy upland meadows and open areas within larch forests, preferring environments with a mix of shrubby thickets and tall grasses and herbs. Outside the breeding season, the chinese Bush Warbler is found at the edges of plains in lowland regions, favoring habitats like grassland with elephant grasses, reedbeds, paddy fields, and scrubby agricultural land margins.
