You are right Philip but unfortunately
that species is, I think, only found in Asia.
What we have is the Australian Reed-Warbler, Acrocephalus
australis. Similarly we have the Australian Pipit, Anthus austalis, not Richard’s Pipit
which is also a South-east Asian species. That is what my book and that of Schodde and Mason plus
a couple of authoritative overseas world checklists say. It is a common mistake
that most birders do not realize has been corrected. There are others but I won’t
go into them here.
Cheers,
Mark

Well if you've got it, flaunt it. They ain't called
"clamorous" for nothing.
