Whistler's Warbler is distributed along the Himalayas and into north-west Myanmar. It is found in the undergrowth of cool temperate forest where it feeds on insects.

White-spectacled Warbler, Mo Chu River, Punakha, Bhutan, March 2008 - click for larger image It is very similar to Green-crowned Warbler P. burkii so I hope that I have identified it correctly. It has a reasonably long tail with white on the outer edges, the lateral blackish crown stripes are not too well defined on the forehead; the eyering appears complete not broken at the rear; and there is a pale wing-bar visible on photo 3. All photos are of the same bird.
