1856 J. Brown in H. Stevenson Birds Norfolk I. (1866) 111 We called it [sc. Savi's warbler] the reel bird, on account of the resemblance of its monotonous note to the continuous whirr of the reel, at that time used by the hand-spinners of wool.

1888 A. Newton in Encycl. Brit. XXIV. 367/1 In those parts of England where it [sc. the Grasshopper-Warbler] was formerly most abundant it was known as the Reeler or Reel-bird.

1906 W. A. Dutt Wild Life E. Anglia ii. 42 We called it the reel bird, on account of the resemblance of its monotonous note to the continuous whirr of the reel at that time used by the hand-spinners of wool.

1960 Times 20 May 16/5 The only bird sound in Britain which might be mistaken for it [sc. the grasshopper warbler]—now that Savi's warbler, the fen-man's ‘reel-bird,’ is extinct—would be the distant..droning of a nightjar.
