Un Pouillot à grands sourcils (Yellow-browed Warbler, Phylloscopus inornatus) au Jardin d’Essais Botaniques de Rabat le 15 octobre (detected by hear and later spotted with binoculars; seen at close range (c.5m) as it foraged on the canopy of trees; small Phylloscopus warbler, smaller than Phylloscopus collybita and trochilus, with white underparts and greenish upperparts; obvious yellow supercillium and wing stripe on the greater coverts; faint paler middle of crown bill bicoloured, from orangish on the base to dark on the tip; legs seemed dark or orangish-dark but were hard to see as the bird was very active; call a fast >FiuÍ!< (recorded) heard around four times during fifteen minutes or so, most of the time the bird was silent).
