Features& Description
The Sedge Warbler, Latin name Acrocephalus schoenobaenus, is a small warbler with a slender, slender silhouette.
Measuring around 13 cm, this small bird is brown and buff in color, with a pointed skull, a very long dirty-white or beigeish-white eyebrow that contrasts sharply with the dark band between the eye and the top of the head. The back is striped, but often appears almost uniformly brown.
Habitat(Biotope)
The Sedge Warbler prefers the bushy vegetation of wetlands (phragmita), the willow groves of stream banks, reeds and wet ditches.
Behavior& habits
The Sedge Warbler is a restless, unafraid insectivorous bird, often singing in the open when an intruder enters its territory.
It climbs to the top of the reeds to make its presence known, and descends to the water’s edge to hunt insects on the surface.
Reproductionand immature
It nests in the lower reaches of vegetation.
The female lays between 5 and 6 eggs, and the parents feed the young alternately.
Cryor Voice
The Sedge Warbler is not very discreet, and its song is made up of long, unvarying series of precipitated tones, broken up by rapid cascades of trills and whistles, as well as occasional imitations. When agitated, it emits a dry, muffled “errrrr” and “tsèk” in alarm.
