Photography tips:
To photograph the Greenish Warbler, it is advisable to use a telephoto lens of 400 mm or more to capture detailed images without disturbing the bird. Look for it in coniferous or mixed forests, especially in the early morning when activity is highest. Be patient and discreet, as this bird is suspicious. Use a tripod to stabilize your camera and wait for it to perch on an open branch to get a sharp photo. Take advantage of natural light to highlight the shades of its plumage.
