Reed Warblers & Allies

The Acrocephalidae family, also known as reed warblers, marsh- and tree-warblers, or acrocephalid warblers, includes various species of relatively large warblers. These birds typically have plain olive-brown upperparts and yellow to beige underparts and are often found in open woodlands, reedbeds, or tall grasses. Their habitat range extends from southern to western Eurasia and into the Pacific, with some species in Africa. Notable genera within this family include Acrocephalus with marsh-warblers and about 42 species such as the moustached, aquatic, sedge, and common reed warblers, some of which have become extinct, like the nightingale reed warbler and others. Genus Arundinax features the thick-billed warbler, while Genus Iduna includes species like the booted and Sykes's warblers. Genus Hippolais houses species such as the melodious and icterine warblers, and Genus Calamonastides and Graueria are home to the papyrus yellow warbler and Grauer's warbler, respectively. Meanwhile, Genus Nesillas includes brush warblers, with five living species and one recently extinct. Among these, the Aldabra brush warbler is noted to have gone extinct around 1984.

Just what birding needs
We need more fun in birding, for years it has had a reputation for being up tight and stuffy and only perused by retirees and anoraks. Birda helps change that perception and firmly brings birding into the 21st century! Fun, interactive while still contributing to science and conservation. If you aren’t on it, why not??

Really great app
It’s easy to use and it’s fun to log the birds you notice on a walk or just in your garden. There’s a option to record the birds you see in a session which is really nice. Good excuse to stop for a while and just watch birds. I am also enjoying the information part where you can find out fact about birds from all over the world.

Great bird recording
For a while I’ve been trying to find an app to easily record bird lists and day out and struggled to find one that I like. Birda is great for this, straightforward and a great community!

Learning Birding with Birda
I’m relatively new to birding as a hobby, and Birda is a great way to keep track off all the species I see. I’m still working on my ID skills, but the app is great for figuring out potential species, and the online community is so friendly and helpful. Definitely recommend Birda to both early and serious birders! 🐦

Easy to use and accurate
Love this app. It is easy to use and accurate, Their backup communication is really good. I noted a missing species. All through the process, I was kept informed about the progress in correcting the information. I now have the corrected, updated version. 😁 Thanks!

Fun way to add to your birdwatching experience
I enjoy watching birds in my backyard, but this app helped me really pay attention while on vacation this summer. It was fun to add new birds to my bird watching app.
