There was a time I found it challenging to sight either the Arctic or the Eastern Crowned Warbler in the bukit for the infrequent presence. But during this migratory season these warblers seem to be practically everywhere, so much so that I sight them more often than the ubiquitous Asian Brown Flycatcher, not that I'm complaining!
In fact the difference here is that I tend to see these warblers foraging together more often too than before when it was normally seen singly, and at upper canopy level.
The fastest and surest way to identify the Arctic Warbler is via the black tip at its lower bill ...
... as for the Eastern Crowned is the median stripe down the middle of its crown, or its clean bright orange lower mandible.
