Old World warbler
Many: see text
The Old World Warblers , family Sylviidae, are a group of more than 280 small insectivorous passerine bird species. The largely southern warbler family Cisticolidae is traditionally often included in the Sylviidae. The Kinglets , genus Regulus , family Regulidae, are also frequently placed in this family.
The American Wood warblers , Parulidae, and the Australian warblers , Acanthizidae, are unrelated to the Sylviidae.
The Sylviidae mainly occur as breeding species, as the name implies, in Europe , Asia and, to a lesser extent Africa . However, most birds of temperate regions are strongly migratory , and winter in the latter continent or tropical Asia.
Most are of generally undistinguished appearance, but many have distinctive songs.
