Blyth's Reed Warbler

Spotted
A small, rather featureless warbler found across northern Eurasia, known for its distinctive and often mimetic song despite its unassuming appearance.
Where to spot
Breeds across northern and eastern Europe, and much of temperate Asia, favoring open woodlands, scrub, and damp thickets, not exclusively in reeds. Winters in India and Southeast Asia.
How to spot
Look for a small, plain, dull brown warbler with a faint supercilium and a rather short primary projection. Identification often relies heavily on its unique song, a rapid, melodious, and varied sequence of notes, often with phrases repeated several times and incorporating mimicry. It can be elusive, moving through dense foliage.
When to spot
Primarily observed during the breeding season (May-July) when males are vocal. Migrants are seen during spring (April-May) and autumn (August-September).

The Blyth's Reed Warbler is often visually described as 'nondescript,' but its distinctive, musical song, which frequently includes prolonged and rich mimicry, makes it highly recognizable to experienced birdwatchers.
