Description
The Japanese leaf warbler (Phylloscopus xanthodryas) is a leaf warbler (family Phylloscopidae). The species was first described by Robert Swinhoe in 1863. It was formerly included in the "Old World warbler" assemblage. It is closely related to the Arctic warbler and the Kamchatka leaf warbler, to which it was formerly considered conspecific. It is found throughout Japan, except on Hokkaido; it winters to Southeast Asia. 
Feeding Habits
Japanese Leaf Warbler consumes a diverse diet, predominantly small insects, larvae, and other invertebrates, complemented by berries in autumn. It forages alone or in pairs, often joining mixed-species flocks seasonally, adeptly catching prey among foliage and in flight with aerial maneuvers.
Habitat
Japanese Leaf Warbler typically inhabits deciduous and mixed forests, as well as coniferous forests and thickets with dense undergrowth. They are also found nesting in rhododendron thickets and montane scrub above the treeline. During migration and in non-breeding periods, japanese Leaf Warbler frequents lower elevations, settling in open areas with a mix of deciduous and evergreen woodlands, rainforest edges, secondary growth, and even edges of cultivated lands, plantations, and gardens.
