Breeding Indian (Clamourous) Reed Warblers in Bahrain – Record by Jehad Alammadi

Jehad Alammadi found some breeding Indian (Clamourous) Reed Warblers in Bahrain and managed to take a few photographs of them that he has very kindly allowed me to use on my website and which are shown below The birds were nesting in their typical habitat of dense reed beds where they can be heard singing loudly throughout the year. Although the species is a common breeder in all reed beds in Bahrain and the Eastern Province of Saudi Arabia it was not mentioned as doing so in the latest Reed and Bush Warbler guide by Helm as little published data is available from this part of the world.
