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.

Aldabra Brush-warbler

The Aldabra Brush-warbler was a reed warbler endemic to Aldabra Atoll in the Seychelles, weighing about 19 g. It is classified as extinct, last recorded in 1983, having been driven to extinction by introduced cats and rats on the atoll.
