A beautiful little bird on coombe heath

I've been trying for a while to get a picture of of one these great birds, so very happy to finally get one.

Couldnt get too close to the Dartfords today, there was a male and female darting between 2 bushes

There was 2 Dartford Warblers looked like a male and female on coombe heath..couldnt get too close to them..I need to practise my stalking skills..

Tuseday I was lucky to see 3 possible 4 juvenile Dartford Warblers

I spent the whole day at Arne on a glorious 28th March . After a patient wait on coombe heath I was rewarded with a great view of this Dartford Warbler. A Wonderful day , Arne never fails to impress with surprises at every turn.

I saw this Dartford Warbler on another bush singing away..he stopped and flew over me to a bush behind me..I then spent 25 minutes following him around 4 bushes as he was singing his heart out..looking for a partner perhaps..:-0

It was such a thrill to see this little chap on Coombe Heath, taken 09/03/2011. I had been to Aylesbeare Common the day before and listened to stories of an apparent wipeout during the hard winter. This is the start of Spring for me!

Taken on Coombe heath, Mid April. Seen carrying nesting material.... A great sign considering the harsh winter we've had !!!
