Description

Classification: Genus Acrocephalus (Acrocephalus); Subfamily Acrocephalinae (Acrocephalinae); Family Old world warblers (Sylviidae)
General: The Basra reed warbler (Acrocephalus griseldis) is a "warbler" of the genus Acrocephalus. It is an endemic breeder in East and southern Iraq, Kuwait, and Palestine[1] in extensive beds of papyrus and reeds. It is easily mistaken for the great reed warbler but is a bit smaller, has whiter under parts and has a narrower, longer and more pointed bill. It winters in East Africa. It is a very rare vagrant in Europe. The call is a gruff 'chaar', deeper than a reed warbler's. [more]
