Field Notes
Description:
The Clamorous Reed Warbler is an Old World warbler.Clamorous Reed Warbler is a large Song Thrush-sized warbler at 18-20 cm. The adult has an unstreaked brown back and whitish underparts. The forehead is flattened, and the bill is strong and pointed. The sexes are identical, as with most warblers. It is very like Great Reed Warbler, but that species has richer coloured underparts.
Like most warblers, Clamorous Reed Warbler is insectivorous, but will take other small prey items.
The song is loud and far carrying, but less raucous than Great Reed Warbler. It is a slow, chattering kereet-kereet-kereet with typically acrocephaline whistles and mimicry added.(Wikipedia)
Habitat:
This passerine bird is a species found in large reed beds, often with some bushes. 3-6 eggs are laid in a basket nest in reeds.
