Acrocephalus agricola (Jerdon, 1845) PY PADWA 12470

Paddyfield Warbler, Yoav Perlman

Looking much like a Reed Warbler but with a stronger eye-stripe, Paddyfield Warbler is rare visitor to Britain & Ireland.

Records tend to fall during the autumn months, and come largely from the Northern Isles. The smaller number of spring records tend to come from the east coast.

Paddyfield Warbler breeds from Romania east to Mongolia, and winters from Iran east to China.
