Breeds in tall, dense and preferably extensive reedbeds; if necessary makes do with smaller reedbegs, e.g. along canals and dykes. Summer visitor (May-Aug in N of range), winters in tropical Africa. Basket-shaped nest woven around strong reed stems at medium height above water.

Identification: Like a larger version of Reed Warbler, similar in color (brown above, buff-white below) and with same habitat and same type of song. Apart from size and gruffer voice, differs in: proportionately larger head and bill (thick and long like thrush’s); usually dark spot at tip of lower mandible; slightly longer tail; somewhat longer primary projection (with clear white tips to primaries); often slightly more distinct, broader pale supercilium and on average darker lores and eye-stripe; often a trifle paler and more grey-brown nape/hindneck. At closest range, a few fine grey streaks on lower throat/upper breast. Legs pinky-brown or brown-grey. Sexes alike. –Adult late summer: Usually somewhat worn, with lighter brown-grey cast above and whiter below. Primaries worn, brownish-grey. –Juvenile: Plumage uniformly fresh, warm rusty-brown above and buffish below. Primaries fresh, dark with pale tips.
