The Clamorous Reed Warbler is a widespread and highly vocal warbler species found across a vast range from Africa to Australia. It is a common inhabitant of dense reedbeds and wetland vegetation.
Where to spot
Extremely widespread, found in suitable wetland habitats from Africa, through the Middle East, Central Asia, India, Southeast Asia, to Australia and parts of Oceania. Prefers large reedbeds and dense waterside vegetation.
How to spot
Focus on extensive reedbeds and aquatic vegetation. Listen for its loud, fast, and often repetitive song, which is a sure sign of its presence. Look for movement within the reeds or birds perched on prominent stems.
When to spot
Year-round resident in many parts of its range, and migratory in others. Most active and vocal during the breeding season (varies regionally), especially in the mornings and evenings.
