Canada Warbler

Cardellina canadensis (Linnaeus, 1776) 17730
Family: Passeriformes > Parulidae

Canada Warbler is a very rare vagrant from North America. The first UK record was discovered in Wales in October 2023, amazingly by the same person who found a Magnolia Warbler a handful of days earlier on the same stretch of coast. Autumn 2023 saw unprecedented numbers of American vagrant passerines discovered in Britain and Ireland, carried by fast-moving Atlantic weather systems. Canada Warbler breed in Canada and the USA and is a long-distance migrant, wintering in central American and northern South America.
