Mangrove Reed Warbler
Summary
Common in mangrove areas but shy and often difficult to locate. More often heard than seen. Most easily observed at dusk near the Island Recreation Centre. Breeding records throughout mangrove areas. Some authorities consider it a sub-species of Eurasian Reed Warbler but this ‘species’ is only found in mangroves.
