Paddyfield Warbler
The paddyfield warbler (Acrocephalus agricola) is a small bird with a short, dark brown bill and long, rounded tail. The upperparts of the paddyfield warbler are orange-brown in May and June, but the plumage slowly wears to a dull olive brown throughout the rest of the year. The throat and belly are whitish and the sides are a buffy yellow. The paddyfield warbler has pinkish or greyish-brown legs, dark brown eyes and a whitish stripe above each eye . The distinctive song of the paddyfield warbler consists of mimicry of other species

The paddyfield warbler gets its peculiar moniker from the place it normally spends the winter: the flooded rice-paddies of the Indian sub-continent. It gets there by heading south and east from its breeding grounds, which stretch from Romania in the west to Russia and China in the east.
