Also known as Aquatic Warbler
species of bird
The Aquatic Warbler (Acrocephalus paludicola) is a small migratory bird that breeds in freshwater marshes across Eastern Europe and winters in West Africa. It matters because its populations have declined dramatically due to the loss and degradation of wetland habitats, making it one of Europe's rarest breeding birds and a priority for conservation efforts.

Acrocephalus paludicola - MHNT The aquatic warbler (Acrocephalus paludicola) is an Old World warbler in the genus Acrocephalus. It breeds in temperate eastern Europe and western Asia, with an estimated population of 11,000-15,000 pairs. It is migratory, wintering in west Africa. After many years of uncertainty, the wintering grounds of much of the European population were finally discovered in Djoudj National Bird Sanctuary, Senegal, with between 5,000 and 10,000 birds present at this single site. Its south-westerly migration route means that it is regular on passage as far west as Great Britain and Ireland.
This small passerine bird is a species found in wet sedge beds with vegetation shorter than 30 cm (12 in). Drainage has meant that this species has declined, and its stronghold is now the Polesie region of eastern Poland and south Belarus, where 70% of the world's population breeds. 3–5 eggs are laid in a nest in low vegetation. This species is highly promiscuous, with most males and females having offspring with multiple partners.
