Manchurian bush warbler explained

The Manchurian bush warbler (Horornis canturians), also known as Korean bush warbler,^[1] is a bird in the family Cettiidae. The species was first described by Robert Swinhoe in 1860. It is found in northeastern China.

The estimated distribution size is reported to be a large range – approximately 1,610,000 km². Although the global population has not been measured, the population trend appears to be stable. Because of this, the Manchurian bush warbler is evaluated as a least concern species.^[2]

It is most active in the morning.^[3]

It is often confused for the Japanese bush warbler.^[4]

Its vocalizations have been described as "explosive" and "trilling."
