Description
The Manchurian reed warbler (Acrocephalus tangorum), also known as the Manchurian reed-warbler, is a species of marsh-warbler (family Acrocephalidae). It was formerly included in the "Old World warbler" assemblage, and was usually (and sometimes is still) treated as a subspecies of the paddyfield warbler (A. agricola). It is found in Cambodia, China, Hong Kong, South Korea, Laos, Russia, Thailand, Vietnam, Malaysia and possibly Myanmar. Its natural habitat is swamps. It is threatened by habitat loss.

Feeding Habits
Manchurian Reed Warbler primarily feeds on insects and other small invertebrates. It forages among reeds and vegetation, often gleaning prey from leaves or catching them in flight. Manchurian Reed Warbler displays no unique dietary adaptations, adhering to typical warbler feeding behaviors.
Habitat
Manchurian Reed Warbler typically inhabits dense reedbeds dominated by Phragmites, as well as other marshland vegetation near lakes and ponds. During the non-breeding season, manchurian Reed Warbler also occupies tall grasslands, sedge beds with varying moisture levels, and areas surrounding ponds with waterlily populations. These environments are primarily located in broad lowland regions.
