Media notes
An adult female feeding its chick, on a bush. Published in HBW Volume 13 on page 91. Original HBW caption: Unlike the cases of some other aegithalids, there is no evidence to suggest that the White-browed Titwarbler ever engages in co-operative breeding. Instead, birds breed monogamously, without assistance from adult helpers. Records of Leptopoecile nests side-by-side suggest that the species might nest colonially, but may simply relate to the existence of additional roost-sites nearby. White-browed Tit-warblers lay between four and eight eggs, and these hatch after a fortnight. The parents take turns in brooding the chicks during the first week, and the young fledge after 18–20 days. The fledglings continue to be fed by their parents, as seen here, and roost in their natal nest for a further 7–12 days before becoming independent. Elevation: 3185 m. Date added to IBC: June 21, 2016.
