In the world
It was formerly regarded as the eastern subspecies of a wider "Bonelli's Warbler" species, but as a result of modern taxonomic developments, this species is now usually considered to be two species: Western Bonelli's Warbler, Phylloscopus bonelli, which breeds in south west Europe and north Africa; and Eastern Bonelli's Warbler, Phylloscopus orientalis, which breeds in south east Europe and Asia Minor. The Eastern species is migratory, wintering in sub-Saharan Africa.
