Japanese: ヨシキリ(葭切) - ヨシキリ(英語表記)reed warbler
Yoshikiri (English spelling) Reed warbler
A general term for birds of the Acrocephalus genus, subfamily Muscicapidae, order Passeriformes. Includes about 15 species. Length 13-19cm. All have a brownish feather color. Widely distributed in Europe, Asia, Africa, and Australia, they live in tall grasslands such as reed beds. They fly from one reed stalk to another, using their long legs to perch on the stalk and catch insects and spiders to eat. They often lurk in the grass, so they are rarely seen except for singing males. Males perch at the top of grass stalks and sing loudly.
