| Description : |
|
The Eurasian Reed-Warbler comes from Europe where it lives in marshes. Very similar to the African Reed- Warbler and to the Marsh Warbler. Only goes through Katanga during its migration towards the south. Here, this bird is mostly seen in savanna's habitats (i.e. not as humid as the marshes its frequents in Asia and in Europe). |

Warning :
This database was established according to official pieces of work and with the help of famous scientists. However, there might be some errors.
The vernacular names were collected in the field and in the colonial literature from the first part of the 20th century. The monks who established the first dictionaries were not necessarily informed naturalists. Therefore, errors must have been committed.
We invite everyone who could help us to improve this working tool to contact us in order to correct us and share her/his knowledge with us.
