Rodrigues Warbler
Acrocephalus rodericanus (Newton, A, 1865)
Acrocephalidae — Reed Warblers & Allies
Rodrigues Warbler, Acrocephalus rodericanus, is a passerine in the reed warbler family that breeds on Rodrigues in the Indian Ocean, within the Mascarenes. It is confined to that island, where it was once common before its numbers fell sharply. The species was thought to have disappeared in the 1960s, then was found again in the 1970s. Its breeding habitat includes dry shrubland, moist shrubland and plantations. Loss of vegetation, rats and cyclones have all affected it, and habitat loss remains a threat.
