The Bonelli's Warbler, Phylloscopus bonelli, is an Old World warbler in the leaf warbler genus Phylloscopus. As a result of modern taxonomic developments, it is now usually considered to be two species, Western Bonelli's Warbler, Phylloscopus bonelli, and Eastern Bonelli's Warbler, Phylloscopus orientalis.

These small passerine birds are found in forest and woodland. 4-6 eggs are laid in a nest on the ground. Like most warblers, Bonelli's is insectivorous.

These are small warblers. The adults of both species have a plain grey-green back, green-toned rump and wings and whitish underparts. The bill is small and pointed and the legs brown. The sexes are identical, as with most warblers.

Western Bonelli's Warbler breeds in south west Europe and north Africa, and Eastern Bonelli's Warbler in south east Europe and Asia Minor. Both species are migratoryLong-distance land bird migration Many species of land birds migrate very long distances, the most common pattern being for birds to breed in the temperate or arctic northern hemisphere and winter in warmer regions, often in the tropics or the southern he, wintering in sub- SaharaThe Sahara is the world's largest desert, over 3,500,000 sq mi (9,065,000 sq km), located in northern Africa and is 2. 5 million years old. The whole land area of United States of America would fit inside it. Its name Sahara is the Arabic translation of tn Africa. They are rare vagrants in Northern Europe.

Western Bonelli's Warbler has a browner tinge to the upperparts than Eastern Bonelli's Warbler. Eastern Bonelli's Warbler sometimes has a greenish tinge to its upperparts. The song of both species is a fast monotone trill, with only slight differences between the two, and also some similarity to Wood WarblerThis article refers to the Eurasian leaf warbler.
