Description
Clamorous reed warbler is a large song thrush-sized warbler at 18–20 cm. The adult has an unstreaked brown back and whitish underparts. The forehead is flattened, and the bill is strong and pointed. The sexes are identical, as with most warblers. It is very like great reed warbler, but that species has richer coloured underparts. There are a number of races differing in plumage shades. The migratory northern race has the richest brown upperparts, and the endemic Sri Lanka subspecies is the darkest form. Like most warblers, clamorous reed warbler is insectivorous, but will take other small prey items. The song is loud and far carrying, but less raucous than great reed warbler. It is a slow, chattering kereet-kereet-kereet with typically acrocephaline whistles and mimicry added.

Habitat
Clamorous Reed Warbler typically inhabits large reed beds enriched with bushes, spanning diverse wetland environments. Their territories include papyrus and reed stands around lakes, ponds, rivers, and irrigation canals. Clamorous Reed Warbler also nests in mangroves, riparian scrubs, and maize plantations, preferring vegetation like reedmace, Pandanus, and elephant grass. Adaptively, they reside in clumps of reeds along mountain streams, use Acacia scrub and tamarisk on migration, and are observed in various croplands in Egypt where they are largely resident. Altitudinally, clamorous Reed Warbler exists up to 3,000 meters in the Himalayas, 1,200 meters in Kazakhstan, and 800 meters on Sulawesi.
