Conservation Description
In the UK, Isle of Man, and Ireland, the Arctic Warbler is a very rare migrant with around five records per year on average. It is most likely to occur from August to October. The conservation status for this species is "not assessed' in the UK because it only occurs as a rare migrant, and is not globally threatened.

SUMMARY
Overview
Arctic Warbler: Medium-sized, active warbler with stout bill, olive-green back, olive-brown sides, and white throat and belly. Dark eye-lines contrast with pale yellow eyebrows curving upward behind eyes. Wings have faint pale bar on tips of greater coverts. Tail is square. Pale yellow legs, and feet.
Range and Habitat
Arctic Warbler: Occurs in Fennoscandia and northern Asia, and is also established in North America, where they breed in Alaska. They migrate to Southeast Asia for the winter, having the longest migration route of any Old World insectivorous bird. Preferred habitats include birch woods, willow thickets, mixed coniferous-deciduous open forests, and grassy tundra. Rare vagrant to the UK.

FAMILY DESCRIPTION
Leaf Warblers (Phylloscopidae)
ORDER
The one hundred eighteen families in the taxonomic order PASSERIFORMES (pronounced pas-ser-i-FOR-meez) include a variety of small perching birds such as the leaf warblers as well as larger birds such as the thrushes and jays.
FAMILY TAXONOMY
In the Phylloscopidae (pronounced fil-uh-SKOH-puhs-uh-dee) family, there are sixty-nine species in two genera that mostly occur in the Old World.
EUROPE
In Europe, twelve species in one genus of the Phylloscopidae family have occurred. These include very common species like the Willow Warbler and Chiffchaff, and rare vagrants like the Yellow-browed Warbler.
KNOWN FOR
Leaf Warblers are active and always in motion. They flick their wings constantly as they move through the trees searching for insects.
PHYSICAL
Members of the Phylloscopidae are small birds with fairly long legs, and strong feet that suit their arboreal nature. They have thin, short bills.
COLORATION
The Phylloscopidae are mostly dull colored birds that have brown to green upperparts and off-white to yellowish underparts.
GEOGRAPHIC HABITAT
The Phylloscopidae occur in forests and scrub across Eurasia, Africa, India, and Asia.
MIGRATION
Many species are long distance migrants.
HABITS
Members of the Phylloscopidae forage for invertebrates by gleaning them from the vegetation of trees and bushes. They often flick their wings as they forage.
CONSERVATION
In some areas, leaf warblers are listed as threatened because of destruction or loss of its habitat.
INTERESTING FACTS
Leaf Warblers were included in the Old World Warbler family until 2006.
