German: Schilfrohrsänger
Spanish: Carricerín Común
Other common names: European Sedge Warbler

Size increases clinally from SW to NE; in Norway, N populations ecologically distinct from S ones. Monotypic.
Distribution: Breeds Europe (except S & SW) E to W Siberia (E to R Yenisey), Turkey, Caucasus and N Kazakhstan; non-breeding sub-Saharan Africa.
