Taxonomy

Subspecies

There are 9 subspecies[1]:

  • A. s. stentoreus:
  • A. s. levantinus:
  • A. s. brunnescens: (Indian Reed-Warbler)
  • A. s. amyae:
  • Plains of Brahmaputra River (Assam) to Myanmar and south-western China
  • A. s. meridionalis:
  • A. s. harterti:
  • Philippines (Luzon, Mindoro, Leyte, Bohol and Mindanao)
  • A. s. celebensis:
  • A. s. siebersi:
  • A. s. lentecaptus:

Habitat

Large reed beds and bushes around lakes, ponds and along rivers.

Behaviour

Breeding

They construct a basket-like nest in the reeds. The clutch consists of 3-6 eggs.

Diet

Their diet consists almost entirely of insects, such as stoneflies, mayflies, dragonflies and damselflies.

Movements

Indian Reed Warbler (A.s. brunnescens) is the only race which has a migratory population, i.e all other races are sedentary. The ranges of the 2 populations of brunnescens are best listed separately as below:

Southern population (sedentary)
Red Sea coasts (Eritrea, North West Somalia and Saudi Arabia), the Persian Gulf (South Iran, Oman, UAE and eastern province of Saudi Arabia), coastal Arabian Sea in Pakistan (Sindh) and North India.

Northern population (migratory) Central Asia (North Iran and Turkmenistan north to South Kazakhstan, south to North Afghanistan and North Pakistan, including Uzbekistan and Tajikistan) winters to coastal South Iraq, South Iran and the Indian subcontinent.
