Dartford Warbler

Earlier in the spring a pair of Dartford Warblers were discovered in the west of the county, and since then a few of us have been checking in on them when passing.  Last week I was delighted to locate the pair with at least 2 fledged youngsters (possibly more).  The male was regularly singing so hopeful that a 2nd brood could be on the cards.
