Remarks :The distinctive song of the West Himalayan Bush Warbler is a rhythmic, mechanical series of clicks and buzzes. It rises around 0.5-2 m from the ground for singing, usually from the top of the vegetation or a large boulder. Song can be heard throughout the day but it is most vocal during morning, evening and in cloudy weather. While singing, it may lower and slightly spread the wings while shaking them. - AC
