Clamorous Reed Warbler

Acrocephalus stentoreus (Hemprich & Ehrenberg, 1833)

Clamorous Reed Warbler, Acrocephalus stentoreus, is a passerine of the reed warbler family that breeds across the Palearctic and Oriental Region, from Egypt through Pakistan, Afghanistan and northern India to south China and south-east Asia. It is a bird of large reed beds, often where bushes are also present. The species has a strong, pointed bill and a flattened forehead, and the adult shows an unstreaked brown back with whitish underparts. It is similar to the Great Reed Warbler, but differs in the tone of the underparts. Most populations stay in place, while some northern breeders move south for the winter.
