About These Birds
Basra Reed-warbler
The Basra Reed-warbler is an Endangered warbler of the family Acrocephalidae that breeds in reed beds of southern Iraq and winters in East Africa. Weighing about 20.9g with a wingspan of 16cm, it has plain brown-olive upperparts and pale underparts. Its breeding range is severely restricted by the drainage of Iraqi marshlands, making it highly vulnerable to habitat loss.
African Yellow Warbler
The African Yellow Warbler is a small, reed-dwelling warbler of the Acrocephalidae family, weighing about 12 g with a wingspan near 12 cm. It inhabits reedbeds and rank vegetation near water in eastern and southern Africa, producing a buzzy, chattering song from dense cover.
