Belts a guttural song from the top of a reed like a tiny opera singer with a sore throat.
- Populasi
- 8-15 million mature individuals globally, population trend decreasing
- Habitat
- Dense reed beds (Phragmites) and other tall wetland vegetation near open water on the breeding grounds; on the sub-Saharan African wintering grounds it also uses grassland, savanna, shrubland, rice fields, and forest clearings
- Fakta menarik
- The largest member of its genus (Acrocephalus), the great reed warbler is known for an extraordinarily loud, far-carrying chattering-and-croaking song; 2017-2019 satellite-tracking data (published 2023) showed some individuals ascending above 5,000 m and up to a maximum of 6,267 m while crossing the Sahara on migration — among the highest-altitude passerine flights ever recorded.
