Black-browed Reed Warbler

The black-browed reed warbler is 13–14 centimetres long and weighs 7–11 grams. It is a small, unstreaked reed warbler with a conspicuous pale supercilium that ends squarely, with a strong blackish-brown stripe above it. The crown and upperparts are olive to red-brown, more clearly reddish on the rump and uppertail coverts. The underparts are whitish with warm yellow-brown on the flanks and sides of the breast. The iris is dark brown, the bill dark above and paler below, and the legs flesh-coloured to dark grey. The sexes do not differ. (German Wikipedia, general species account)

It occurs from eastern Mongolia and southeastern Russia to eastern China and Japan, and rarely on the Korean Peninsula. It winters from northeast India and southern and southeastern China to the Malay Peninsula. The habitat is varied vegetation near water: sedges with willow clumps and other shrubs, tall grass, reeds, rice fields, willows along rivers and damp woodland edges up to 1,500 metres.
