Dartford ( does my bum look big like this)-2548

Does my bum look big like this ?

 

I am a bit of a Gorse junky , here we have a Dartford , I could crop in harder, on the subject but I think this is far better showing the habitat.

 

This small, dark, long-tailed warbler is resident in the UK and has suffered in the past from severe winters. The Dartford warbler's population crashed to a few pairs in the 1960s, since when it has gradually recovered, increasing in both numbers and range. It is still regarded as an Amber List species. It will perch on top of a gorse stem to sing, but is often seen as a small flying shape bobbing between bushes.

Insects and other invertebrates.
