Overview
The Rodrigues warbler (Acrocephalus rodericanus) is a species of Old World warbler in the family Acrocephalidae.
It is found only on the island of Rodrigues (which belongs to Mauritius) and used to be plentiful there. Their population soon got smaller. Cyclone Monique in 1968 almost wiped out the entire species.
