About These Birds

Aquatic Warbler

The Aquatic Warbler is a vulnerable migratory reed warbler weighing about 13 grams with a wingspan near 12 cm, breeding in sedge fens of central and eastern Europe. It is the only globally threatened migratory passerine in continental Europe, with a distinctive streaked buff and brown plumage and prominent pale supercilium. Drainage of its specialized wetland breeding habitat has caused sharp population declines.

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.
