description

Adult male

The almost 13 centimeter long, rather secret bird resembles the reed warbler . An important distinguishing feature is the almost black headstock, which stands out from the very light eye stripe. The cheeks are more dark brown and the throat lighter. The Marisk Warrior is more rust-colored on the neck and back than the Reed Warbler. Compared to this and the similar sedge warbler , it is also characterized by the habit of erecting its relatively short tail.

voice

Marisk singer's lute

He calls softly but piercingly “t-trrt” and harshly “Tschack”, followed by a rattling alarm rattle. The singing is similar to the reed warbler, but more melodious. Characteristic is a motif that sounds like “lu-lu-lu” and is somewhat reminiscent of the song of the woodlark or the nightingale .
