Australian Reed Warbler (Acrocephalus australis)
About the Australian Reed Warbler
The Australian reed warbler (Acrocephalus australis) is an acrocephalid warbler in the genus Acrocephalus and is the only Acrocephalus species native to Australia. It has also been observed in Papua New Guinea and nearby islands. The name Acrocephalus refers to the peaked crown found on reed warblers in this genus and can be translated to mean "topmost head" in Greek. The species name australis is translated to mean "southern" in Latin, and refers to the species range, Australia. In its western range the Australian reed warbler is also known as "Koordjikotji" (pronounced core'chee'caw'chee) in the local Aboriginal language of Perth and its surrounds.
