The Grasshopper Warbler is classified as Least Concern. Does not qualify for a more at risk category. Widespread and abundant taxa are included in this category.

The Grasshopper Warbler, Locustella naevia, is an Old World warbler in the grass warbler genus Locustella. It breeds across much of temperate Europe and Asia.

the Grasshopper Warbler, but is slightly larger, has white tips to the tail and tertial feathers, and a warmer brown rump. This is a skulky species which is very difficult to see except sometimes when singing. It creeps through grass and low foliage. The song is not the mechanical insect-like reeling produced by the Grasshopper Warbler and some other Locustella warblers, but an inventive Acrocephalus-like melody. This bird was named after the German zoologist Peter Simon Pallas. More

The high, insect-like reeling song of the grasshopper warbler is the best clue to its presence. Even when you hear one it can be difficult to locate it due to the ventriloquial effect of its singing. If seen on migration it moves like a little mouse, creeping through the foliage. Dramatic population declines have made this a Red List species. Where to see them Found scattered across the UK in summer, although less common in Scotland. More

Pallas’s Grasshopper Warbler is a rather variable species with three (or four) recognised (but perhaps not recognisable) races, falling into two groups: rubescens, from northern Siberia – the darkest and most cinnamon-rufous form; certhiola (including centralasiae) – the most contrastingly marked form, from south-east Siberia, north-east China, and Mongolia and the neighbouring parts of Russia and China. They share with Middendorff’s the strongly graduated tail with characteristic white tips to the retrices except for the central pair. More
