Schrenk's Reed Warbler - The Black-browed Reed-warbler is similar and closely related to the more common and widespread Reed Warbler. The bird spends its time foraging close to the ground inside undisturbed reed beds. Like many other wetland birds, it is of conservation concern owing to habitat loss-destruction of native marsh vegetation and its replacement by rice paddies and fishponds.

 

Cape Verde Warbler - This small passerine bird is a species found in well-vegetated valleys, avoiding drier areas. It nests in reedbeds, 2-3 eggs are laid in a suspended nest.

 

Tahiti Reed-Warbler - There are numerous subspecies, but some have been elevated to full species rank in recent times. The nominate race Acrocephalus caffer caffer - the Tahiti Reed-warbler proper - is restricted to Tahiti, with a population of less than a thousand individuals. Other races include:

 

Blunt-winged Warbler - It is found in Afghanistan, China, Hong Kong, India, Laos, Burma, Nepal, Pakistan, Thailand, and Vietnam.

 

Blyth's Reed Warbler - This small passerine bird is a species found in scrub or clearings, often near water, but it is not found in marshes. 4-6 eggs are laid in a nest in a bush.

 

Millerbird - The Millerbird is a species of Old World warbler in the family Acrocephalidae. It had two subspecies, A. f. kingi and A f. familiaris. The latter, the Laysan Millerbird, became extinct sometime between 1916 and 1923. The former, the critically endangered Nihoa Millerbird, remains the only race left, inhabiting the small island Nihoa in Hawaiʻi. It is the only Old World warbler to have colonised Hawaiʻi, although there is no fossil evidence that the species ever had a distribution beyond these two islands.

 

Lesser Swamp-Warbler - The Lesser Swamp Warbler is a plain coloured smallish bird 14–16 cm long and weighing around 20 gm. Its upperparts are rich brown, and it has a white supercilium. The underparts are white, with a rufous wash to the flanks. The long, strong bill has a slightly down-curved upper mandible; it is blackish-yellow with a yellower base. The legs are blue-grey and the eyes are brown. Adults of both sexes and juvenile birds are very similar in appearance,

 

Basra Reed-Warbler - It is found in aquatic vegetation in or around shallow, fresh or brackish water, still or flowing, mainly in dense reedbeds. It is found in thickets and bushland when migrating or wintering.

 

Cook Islands Warbler - The Cook Islands Reed-warbler is a species of Old World warbler in the Sylviidae family. It is found only in the Cook Islands. Its natural habitats are subtropical or tropical dry forests, swamps, and rural gardens. It is threatened by habitat loss.

 

Acrocephalus luscinius - The species is approximately 17 cm long, and is greyish olive-brown above with a pale-yellow underside. It inhabits wetlands, thickets and the margins of forests. The female is slightly smaller than the male. Both sexes have a long bill compared to other reed warbler species.

 

Moustached Warbler - It is scarce north of its range, but has occurred as a very rare vagrant as far as Poland and Denmark. There are a few reports from Great Britain, including a pair breeding in Cambridgeshire in 1946, but these records have recently been removed from the official list of British birds.

 

Marquesan Reed-Warbler - The Marquesan Reed-warbler is a species of Old World warbler in the Sylviidae family. It is found only in French Polynesia.

 

Madagascar Swamp Warbler - The Madagascar Swamp-warbler is a species of Old World warbler in the Sylviidae family. It is found only in Madagascar. Its natural habitat is swamps.

 

Acrocephalus orinus - This species has the upper plumage and visible portions of wings and tail olive-brown while the underside is pale creamy with the underwing and axillaries paler.

 

Aquatic Warbler - This small passerine bird is a species found in wet sedge beds with vegetation shorter than 30 cm. Drainage has meant that this species has declined, and its stronghold is now the Polesie region of 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 .

 

Marsh Warbler - The Marsh Warbler breeds in a variety of mostly damp habitats, but in Africa winters mainly in dry, well-vegetated areas. It is common over much of its breeding range and expanding its distribution in some areas. However in Britain it is now virtually extinct as a breeding bird. This insectivorous warbler can be easily confused with several close relatives, but the imitative song of the male bird is highly distinctive.

 

Nauru Reed-Warbler - It is 15 centimeters long, it has a straight beak and its body is greyish-olive above with an off-white below chest and a white eyebrow.

It is a greenish-brown bird with long legs and a long slender bill. It is primarily found in forested areas on the islands. The Seychelles Warbler is a rarity in that it exhibits cooperative breeding, or alloparenting; which means that the monogamous pair is assisted by nonbreeding female helpers.

 

Speckled Reed Warbler - This bird is also called the Speckled Reed Warbler.

Clamorous Reed-Warbler - Most populations are sedentary, but the breeding birds in Pakistan, Afghanistan and north India are migratory, wintering in peninsular India and Sri Lanka.
