It is always a sign of summer coming when the Oriental Reed Warbler (Acrocephalus orientalis) start setting up their territories and making the normally quiet reed banks come alive with their noisy, grating song.<\/p>\n

While they will sing at any time of day, the dawn chorus is very special. At Oe reclaimed land area there are dozens of pairs and they create quite a ruckus especially when other birds such as Zitting Cisticola (I always preferred \u201cFantail Warbler\u201d myself as the common name for Cisticola juncidis), Black-browed Reed Warbler (Acrocephalus bistrigiceps) and Eurasian Skylark (Alauda arvensis).<\/p>\n
