Description
The green warbler (Phylloscopus nitidus), also known as green willow warbler or green leaf warbler, is a leaf warbler found in the Caucasus Mountains in southcentral Europe. Like all leaf warblers, it was formerly placed in the "Old World warbler" assemblage, but now belongs to the new leaf-warbler family Phylloscopidae. The genus name Phylloscopus is from Ancient Greek phullon, "leaf", and skopos, "seeker" (from skopeo, "to watch"). The specific nitidus is from Latin and means "shining". It is most closely related to the greenish warbler but is brighter in colour, and the underside is much more yellow. It has one strong and one faint wing bar, especially in young birds.

Feeding Habits
Green Warbler primarily consumes small arthropods, including beetles, spiders, stoneflies, moths, flies, and aphids. It forages alone or in groups, preferring the upper canopy and exhibiting flitting movements with wing flicks to catch prey from foliage or in flight.
Habitat
The green Warbler primarily breeds in high-altitude forests comprised of trees such as beech, oak, juniper, or a mix of conifers and deciduous species with alder. This bird favors habitats with a well-developed understory, including bushy slopes, ravines, and thickets often found in subalpine meadows. Outside the breeding season, the green Warbler can be found in lower altitude forests, as well as in human-modified landscapes like gardens, parks, orchards, and areas adjacent to cultivation.
