what is it?
The moustached warbler ( Acrocephalus melanopogon ) is an Old World warbler in the genus Acrocephalus . It breeds in southern Europe and southern temperate Asia with a few in north-west Africa. It is partially migratory. South west European birds are resident, south east European birds winter in the Mediterranean breeding range, and the Asiatic race migrates to Arabia, India and Pakistan.
