IdentificationIf you are lucky enough to see a Grasshopper Warbler you'll notice that it's a dull brown bird with streaked upperparts and a broad rounded tail which has streaks underneath. A fluffy white throat is often obvious when the bird is singing. The lack of an eyestripe eliminates Sedge Warbler. Some birds can look remarkably unstreaked and this can often lead to confusion with Savi's Warblers. However, even the most unstreaked Grasshopper Warblers will always have a dark alula. HabitatBreeds in rank grassland and in young conifer plantations. MigrationAll populations are migratory with western birds wintering in west Africa south of the Sahara.
