Marsh Warbler

The Marsh Warbler breeds in a variety of mostly damp habitats, but in Africa winters mainly in dry, well-vegetated areas. It is common over much of its breeding range and expanding its distribution in some areas. However in Britain it is now virtually extinct as a breeding bird. This insectivorous warbler can be easily confused with several close relatives, but the imitative song of the male bird is highly distinctive.

The history of the Marsh Warbler in Gloucestershire is poorly documented in spite of it having been a noteworthy and much observed summer visitor to the county for 100 years. Few records were available from before the 1960s and the standard reference works for the county by Witchell & Strugnell (The Fauna & Flora of Gloucestershire, 1892), Mellersh (A Treatise on The Birds of Gloucestershire, 1902), and even from Swaine (Birds of Gloucestershire, 1982) are painfully brief on the subject.
