The
sedge warbler (
Acrocephalus schoenobaenus) is a passerine bird in the
Acrocephalidae family, the reed warblers. It is a medium-sized warbler with a brown, streaked back and wings and a distinct pale
supercilium. Sedge warblers are
migratory, crossing the
Sahara to get from their European and Asian breeding grounds to spend winter in Africa. The male's song is composed of chattering phrases and can include mimicry of other species. The species is mostly
insectivorous. This sedge warbler was photographed in
Otmoor RSPB reserve in
Oxfordshire, England.
