African Reed Warbler

Acrocephalus baeticatus

The African reed warbler (Acrocephalus baeticatus) is an Old World warbler in the genus Acrocephalus. It is found in Iberia and over large parts of African. Some authorities consider this species as a subspecies of the Common reed warbler (Acrocephalus scirpaceus).

The adult has an unstreaked brown back and buff underparts. The forehead is flattened, and the bill is strong and pointed. The sexes are identical, as with most warblers, but young birds are richer buff below. The common reed warbler looks similar to the great reed warbler, but the great reed warbler is larger in size and has a stronger supercilium.

The song is a slow, chattering jit-jit-jit with typically acrocephaline whistles and mimicry added.

Loving it
I really enjoy being able to interact with other birders on this platform! This seems like a great way to meet other birders and find some new spots.

A great app
Enjoying it immensely and finding it useful too. Recording the different birds and counting them is showing me how the present climate is affecting them all. I've trebled the numbers by planting native hedging. A great app.
