DARTFORD WARBLER // SYLVIA UNDATA

THIS BEAUTY HAS BEEN TOP OF MY WANT LIST FOR AGES, and thanks to a young lady dog walker, on Thursley Common, who after chatting about my camera, retraced a good half a mile, to show me a gorse area with two nesting pairs of Dartford Warblers, could not thank her enough. Did not push my luck too much with them, and they carried on feeding their young, I was in heaven, now have a least 50 good images of them, and about 70 of the same day Cuckoo.

A PERKY LITTLE WARBLER (12cm in length) that frequently cocks its tail up at an angle, occasionally perch conspicuously on prominent gorse stems as posted, but more usually they are skulking and rather secretive, A all round resident in the region, only found in the south, and the species is protected by law, as it is a endangered.!
