Wood Warblers in Iceland
Back to main page

Wood Warblers Phylloscopus sibilatrix tend to be rather rare visitors on this island, with "only" 75 recorded up to and including 2011 (compared with 126 Yellow-browed Warblers...). The first was at Lake Mývatn (NE-Iceland) in September 1939.

Explanations:

  • Figure 1 shows the distribution of records in Iceland, the circles representing different numbers of birds and the blue triangles records at sea.
  • Figure 2 shows the weekly distribution of records. Red columns show the week of discovery and the yellow columns all observations after the first week (for birds that are seen more than one week).
    R = number of records & F = number of birds.
  • Figure 3 shows the annual distribution of new records for the period mentioned.
