Order: Passeriformes. Family: Sylviidae
The family Sylviidae is a group of small insectivorous passerine birds. The Sylviidae mainly occur as breeding species, as the common name implies, in Europe, Asia and, to a lesser extent Africa. Most are of generally undistinguished appearance, but many have distinctive songs. There are about 291 species worldwide and 35 species which occur in Ireland.

Famous quotes containing the words world and/or warblers:
“So the first it is written,
will be the twisted or the tortured individuals,
out of line, out of step with world so-called progress.”

My grief was not excessive.
For to come upon warblers in early May
Was to forget time and death:”
