However, this species has never been scientifically recorded in China. On 22 April 2016, a Moustached Warbler was observed in Ulanbuy wetland （43°36′N, 87°43′E; 1114 m a.s.l.）, Urumqi, Xinjiang of China. This was the first photography-confirmed record of Moustached Warbler in China. As Moustached Warbler is a songbird, the songs were then recorded on 18 May 2016 using a Sony PCM D-100 recorder and the song characteristics were analyzed using Avisoft-SASLab software. The result showed that the mean maximum frequency of song strophes was 6.64 （±0.47） kHz and the mean minimum frequency of song strophes was 1.72 （±0.14） kHz. This study could considered as a supplement of the checklist of birds in China.展开更多
