(Locustellidae)

CC-BY-SA 2.0 rights : Sébastien Bertru

Brown warbler with a round tail, lighter coloured throat and beige belly. The back and wing feathers are dark with a lighter edge.

In the reeds looking for bugs. At twilight, the ♂ sings long, often from a high point in the bushes. 

⇔ l. 12-14 cm

Migratory bird wintering in Africa.

LA:
From a distance difficult to separate from other warblers but the singing is more varied and for longer periods. 
≈  The LOCUSTELLA LUSCINIOIDES (Savi's warbler) is even coloured brown.
≈  And the ACROCEPHALUS SCHOENOBAENUS (Sedge warbler) has a light eyebrow stripe.
