Oriental Reed Warbler

Acrocephalus orientalis (Temminck & Schlegel, 1847)

Oriental Reed Warbler, Acrocephalus orientalis, is a passerine of reedbeds and other wet places across eastern Asia, breeding from southern Siberia, Mongolia and northern, central and eastern China to Korea and Japan. In the non-breeding season it moves to south-east Asia, the Philippines and the Indonesian Archipelago. It is a reed warbler with a pale tip to the tail, which helps separate it from similar species. It was once treated as part of the Great Reed Warbler.
