Reed Warbler Acrocephalus scirpaceus

The Reed Warbler, also called Eurasian Reed Warbler, is an unremarkable plain brown bird with a pale front.

As expected, it lives and nests in reeds beside water. It breeds through most of Europe and western Asia and winters in sub-Saharan Africa.

Together with Dunnocks and Meadow Pipits, its nest is a favourite host of the Eurasian Cuckoo.
