	Aquatic Warbler - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Aquatic Warbler, Acrocephalus paludicola, is an Old World warbler in the genus Acrocephalus.
		It can be confused with juvenile Sedge Warbler, which may show a crown stripe, but the marking is stronger in this species, which appears paler and spiky-tailed in flight.
		Like most warblers, it is insectivorous, but will take other small food items including berries.

	Aquatic Warbler 1987
		Lowestoft's star bird of the year was undoubtedly an Aquatic Warbler, which spent the evening of August 26 feeding in the rather unlikely location of Links Road car park, at the north end of the North Denes Camp site.
		The Aquatic Warbler continued to be seen intermittently until 7:00pm when fading light and heavy rain forced most people to leave.
		Aquatic Warblers are regular autumn migrants to Britain, although they mostly appear in the south-west, with favoured locations being Marazion Marsh in Cornwall, and Radipole Lake and Pool Harbour in Dorset.

		Up to the beginning of 1990s Aquatic Warbler was one of the least known breeding bird species in Belarus.
		Following the rediscovery of Belarusian Aquatic Warbler breeding population by Belarusian-German expedition in May-June 1995, this survey was aimed to update information on the status of the warbler primary habitat - lowland eutrophic bogs.
		Aquatic Warbler density reaches the highest known values, up to 135 males/km2, total population is estimated as 950-1550 singing males.

	Aquatic warbler - Acrocephalus paludicola: More Information - ARKive
		The eggs of the aquatic warbler are brown and densely spotted with a yellowish grey (4).
		The aquatic warbler is more secretive than its common relative, the sedge warbler, and often remains hidden on the ground whilst actively searching for food.
		The aquatic warbler is a UK Biodiversity Action Plan species, and a number of known key passage sites have been designated as Sites of Special Scientific Interest (SSSIs) (5).

	Acrocephalus - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Acrocephalus warblers are small, insectivorous passerine birds belonging to the genus Acrocephalus of the Old World warbler family Sylviidae.
		They are sometimes called marsh warblers or reed warblers, but this invites confusion with Marsh Warbler and Reed Warbler, especially in North America where it is common to use lower case for bird species.
		These are rather drab brownish warblers usually associated with marshes or other wetlands.

	When We Improve the State of the Habitats of Aquatic Warbler (Acrocephalus paludicola), We Stop Degrading Small Rivers (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02)
		It was found that the Ukrainian part of the Prypyat population of Aquatic Warbler was at its highest (around 2,500 male birds) since the habitats began to be monitored in 1996; this is related to the fact that the hydrological regime in the majority of its nesting sites is very good.
		The largest area of Aquatic Warbler habitat in Ukraine (holding 600-800 males) is located between the Rivers Prypyat and Tsyrya, between Vetly, Birky and Tsyr villages in Lyubeshivsky Rayon, Volynska Oblast.
		This leads to a decrease in the hay harvest (30-50% lower than on the wet hayfields), and forces Aquatic Warbler to leave the biotope (the optimal water level for this species is 5-10 cm higher than the surface of the land).

		The Aquatic Warbler is the rarest songbird in mainland Europe.
		The globally threatened Aquatic Warbler Acrocephalus paludicola was once widespread and numerous on fen mires and wet meadows across continental Europe.
		In contrast to most birds, whose mating lasts a mere 1-2 seconds, Aquatic Warblers spend up to 35 minutes copulating, with an average of 23.7 minutes — thought to be a record among songbirds.

		However, the whereabouts of the wintering grounds of aquatic warbler are largely unknown, and this is a major obstacle to the conservation of the species.
