I managed to photograph several species of warblers while on a trip to Thailand. It was not easy taking into account all the difficulties in photographing them. Mainly they stayed quite far in the treetops and to make matters worse they were very busy. Often before the camera focused automatically, the bird had gone. Their small size (about 10 grams - three times lighter than a sparrow) did not make the task any easier. Birds often were hidden behind needles or leaves. Taking pictures was only one of the difficulties but the real problem was how to identify them. Without the help of experts in this matter I could not do, because the book about birds of Thailand I had bought was hardly useless for pretty bad illustrations of birds included there. I had such a difficulty not only with warblers but with most of the images posted there. Only birds with very distinct characteristics could be clearly identified. Due to the lack of certainty in this matter the works on the implementation of the new Thai page were significantly extended. However, with family Phylloscopidae I have reached a great progress in presenting these birds. Formerly I had only the wood warbler on my site, and here I have added several new species...
The description is common to all warblers taken in Thailand:  Buff-browed Warbler / Hume's Leaf Warbler (Phylloscopus humei), Emei leaf warbler (Phylloscopus emeiensis), Arctic warbler (Phylloscopus borealis), Blyth's Leaf-Warbler ( Seicercus reguloides), Pallas's Leaf-Warbler (Phylloscopus proregulus), Yellow-browed Warbler ( Phylloscopus inornatus)
