==Distribution== Their breeding habitat is [[Cyperaceae|sedge]] beds in [[Europe]], mainly in the east, and across the [[Palearctic]]. They used to breed in [[Great Britain]] up to the mid-19th century, but the western European population declined through drainage. There has been a recovery in north-western Europe in recent years, with the recolonisation of [[Germany]] and the [[Netherlands]], and breeding suspected in Britain; an Irish record in 2012 was the first there since the 1850s.<ref name=IrishBirds/> They nest in a dry location in wet sedge bogs, laying 4β8 [[Bird egg|eggs]]. This species is [[bird migration|migratory]], wintering in east [[Africa]] and [[south Asia]]. It is also a resident breeder in Africa and [[Australasia]]. There is a single [[North America]]n record of this species on [[Attu Island]] in September 2000.
