Description
The Tytler's leaf warbler (Phylloscopus tytleri) is a songbird species. Like all leaf warblers, it was formerly placed in the "Old World warbler" assemblage, but now belongs to the new leaf-warbler family Phylloscopidae. It is found in Afghanistan, Pakistan, Nepal, and the India. It passes through the Western Himalayas to winter in southern India, particularly in the Western Ghats and the Nilgiris. Its natural habitat is subtropical or tropical moist montane forests. It is threatened by habitat loss. It breeds in the Northwestern Himalayan region and is suspected to breed in the Garhwal and Kumaon Himalayas. The name commemorates the British naturalist Robert Christopher Tytler.

Feeding Habits
Tytler's Leaf Warbler consumes small insects and larvae, foraging alone or in pairs, sometimes in small groups or with mixed-species flocks. It gleans food from leaves and branches or makes sallies for flying insects, and may feed on ground among mossy roots.
Habitat
Tytler's Leaf Warbler is typically found in evergreen and conifer forests, with a preference for habitats that include blue pine and silver fir, as well as oak-rhododendron woodland. It also inhabits areas with subalpine dwarf willows and birches. During the non-breeding season, tytler's Leaf Warbler occupies broadleaf woodland and shola forests.
