Editing Common grasshopper warbler (section)

==Distribution and habitat==
The common grasshopper warbler breeds in northwest [[Europe]] and the western [[Palearctic]]. The range includes [[Spain]], [[France]], central [[Italy]], [[Romania]], [[Yugoslavia]], the [[British Isles]], [[Belgium]], [[Netherlands]], [[Germany]], [[Denmark]], southern [[Sweden]], southern [[Finland]], the [[Baltic States]] and western parts of [[Russia]]. Further east it is replaced by related species. In autumn, it migrates south to the [[Sahel]] region of tropical [[Africa]], [[India]] and [[Sri Lanka]] where it overwinters.<ref name="Snow"/><ref name=Witherby/>

In the breeding season, the grasshopper warbler is found in damp or dry places with rough grass and bushes such as the edges of fens, clearings, neglected hedgerows, heaths, upland moors, gorse-covered areas, young plantations and felled woodland. In the winter, it is usually found in similar locations but information is scarce on its distribution and habitat due to its unobtrusive and skulking behaviour.<ref name="Snow"/><ref name=Witherby/>
