The Dartford Warbler is a rare heathland bird - one of the two British
warblers that do not spend the winter in Africa.
When I finally saw my first Dartford - a singing male on top of a
gorse bush - it was pure magic!
A very special little bird and I can't wait
to see another 'Dartie' soon!
Here's a collection of my favourite Dartford Warbler photos. Please click on the
thumbnails for a larger version.
I have also painted one of these little beauties:
